"Eating their own" ? "Holier than thou"? I don't think so. One reason I'm both a Republican and a conservative is that we have higher standards and that we speak up when disagree with one another. I'm proud not to be part of the herd mentality of democrats. I think Mrs. Bush was wrong and I think she needs to realize that not everyone thought her humorous descent was helpful.
The left is counting on the 'religious right' to overreact to this mild humor.
I'm not saying you have to agree with what she said, but making more of it than was there (which MANY are doing.........not you), and bashing Laura as being immoral (which some freepers are doing..........not you), fits nicely into the leftist stereotype that we are humorless, eat-your-own, holier than thou, prudes.
I'm just saying, disagree if you will.......I understand that completely..... but keep it all in perspective.
I'm only on post 99 and you've said the same thing like six times already.
This thread goes on for over 1000 posts, so if it's mostly you for the rest of it, I'll quit now.
