I can't say enough how proud I have been of you for all the events you have organised and been a part of over the years. You sure got to Gore. Angelwood is another one. And It makes me feel really great to see you defending the very principles that led you to fight in the first place. The ones who are fighting you now are real heartbreakers. They stand for party only, but where are there principles ?

[nopardons]

Principles did NOTHING for those who claim that they have them, but the rest of us don't, during the Clinton years.

And we can all go and yell our lungs out, in front of the White House, IF Kerry wins, but that won't do a damned bit of good in stopping him doing awful things. There are NOT, and probably never shall be,enough numbers on our side, to make protesting the other side as big a deal, as the lunatics who pranced and shouted at Nixon. That doesn't mean I think FREEPS should stop; it means that NOT working to oust Dems, is far more important, than giving aid and comfort to them, by going fringe.

[sauropod]

They have none.

Thanks for the kind words about the D.C. Chapter. I'm well aware of the compromises involved in politics and governing. Where one draws the line on core principles can be very frustrating and at times lonely. In '98 the party did not want impeachment. We on FR, and others on the "fringes," stood by our principles and carried the day. We're not going to win them all. But we must try, if only to be able to live with ourselves.
