Absolutely correct on both accounts.
"Those are the politics of division,"
That statement is the politics of Rats, when they're called on being Rats.
To me it is very telling that the Clintons put Chelsea in private school, but the Bushes put their twins in Houston area public schools. I know this may be a minor point, but I believe a major statement is made by Cabinet members Rod Paige, Condi Rice and Colin Powell. And I don't think anyone, with any good sense, would call them "house--uh--inhabitants"!
BTW, how would a career in politics sound to you, rdb3?
I opened this page a few minutes ago and my PC froze up. The RATS smell defeat.
