Bump to that -- see my tagline!
How long before we are told we are not Republicans again because we support Rudy?
I'm not a "Republican"..I'm an American first, and this country, in this time of peril, simply cannot afford to elect a Democrat in 2008.
.. OH! .. I don't mention him in certain circles , I've been derided from both sides
.. , I've been here through Koch , Dinkins {{OMG!!!} , and R*d* [ see , not mentioning him ]
I'd have to say his Achilles' heel is getting baited into quarrels that make him appear willing to jump into something FEET FIRST on the advice of someone he probably trusts ,..
but that person/group could easily be given the old "yes , I'm looking into that"
case in point: the Virgin Mary elephant dung painting by Chris Ofili made R*d* look silly , the painting was gorgeous { yes , I got right up close , in the gallery } and if he had more astute counsel , he wouldn't have stepped in that SH*T , and then tracked it all over the place
