Sometimes hysterics, as you refer to them, is the way to get the dead wood off the bottom of the swamp.
I do thank you for your critisizing as it appears to be constructive. How would you have made it less "hysterical?"
Thank you for realizing that I am trying to be constructive.
Since you asked, here's what I think. First of all, get rid of all the exclamation points. That's where it looks hysterical to me.
Then cut out the cliches and "catch phrases". You could easily make your point without them.
Honestly I'm not too bothered by Santorum saying that DeLay should answer the questions and let the facts stand.
If he's innocent, then that will clear him and if he's not, then that will be known also and then the voters will decide what to do.
But I do understand your underlying point that Republicans tend not to stand up for one another.
Anyway, that's what I think, cut the exclamation points and get rid of stuff like "closet liberal".
