If you take my comment out of context, you lose the point.
You're right; it doesn't matter in a press secretary.
I was responding to the poster who claimed that Tony Snow was a Reagan Conservative even as the poster was bashing and bashing Bush. I pointed out where Tony was not a down the line conservative in Reagan's or anyone's mold. Neither was Reagan perfectly conservative, as I also noted.
This poster did not seem very informed but sure did like to spout ad hominem insults OR boilerplate hero worship.
Tony is prolife on both sides of the aisle. Many Catholics are by the way, inculding me.
