Love your nic, m'dear - describes me to a "T" as well.
I agree with you - but here's hoping that once they see what lies and smears they use against a man they have admiration for, they might just wonder about the rest of the crap they're fed by their side. God knows my conversion came in the quietest of ways - listening to Rush and making fun of the Big Guy and his blowhard opinions, until one day a caller from "my side" called up and Rush's answer plain blew him out of the water and blew me away. I stopped listening to liberals that day (and, sadly, for the life of me, I cannot remember the subject matter, but I know it had something to do with Clinton).
You would think so, wouldn't you? When you know the person is not a bigot, racist, Nazi, terrorist, liar, ________ (fill in the blank with the smear of your choice), and you see what the democratic leadership is doing to what you consider to be a good man, wouldn't you question what has come before?
