Oh, I want to go off subject for a sec. I surfed around last night and landed on CSPAN where I saw John Edwards' wife, Elizabeth, for the first time. She was doing one of those campaign at a private home thingys, and she actually brought up President Bush going around wearing jeans and a big belt buckle and driving a nice shiny truck and she basically said these were all props and that they, the Edwards, drive a real pickup, the kind that gets rust in the back.
I sat there marveling, and thinking that never in my wildest dreams would I hear Laura Bush at a reachout putting down those dems in such a personal way. But there it was.
Just an interesting side note when I saw your truck reference.
Perhaps that view has something to do with the fact that FReepers generally shoot straight, walk tall, skillfully rope livestock, eat red meat, wear white hats, and are not at all afraid of fresh bull$#!t dropped in our paths on a daily basis......
That has intrigued me, the fact that the opposition sees most Freepers as cowboys. Interesting.
And instructive. I'm highly amused by the yahoos who think calling someone a ''cowboy'' is an insult. When they do that, it proves a couple of things: A)They're either stupid or ignorant of American culture, and B)They have exhausted their repertoire of debating skills & are acting like 7 year olds on the playground.
