I do hereby aplogize to the fine and friendly Miss Marple.

Who I was never talking to to begin with anywhere in this thread but who still felt the need to jump in with a public post about another post of mine. It was HER public post I was responding to when I also referenced the Freepmail from other people. If my wording was awkward, I am sorry. Miss Marple did NOT Freepmail me.

Folks, please, I am begging you, leave me alone. I am going away, not mad, just going away.

Plenty of people freepmailed in a very friendly and rewarding manner...thanks to you all.

Time for me to leave. I will lurk, perhaps, but I shall post no more.

I hope that you will reconsider your decision and continue to post here.

You are currently "in the trenches" politically with your Republican Party activities and your posts about your encounters make excellent reading --- and they are helpful in examining our own participation in the Party locally.

That you are passionate about your positions is obvious and I don't think anyone here is challenging you on that. Others here are as firm in their convictions, but because of temperament or professional habits of a lifetime, try to control emotional reactions to events and to avoid personal judgments of other posters whose views may differ from theirs.

One of the pleasures of the Sunday Morning Talk Show threads, in addition to the extraordinary research done here, is the genuine respect posters accord each other and the general absence of rancour and personal abuse which may arise on other threads.

Thank you for your interesting posts, and again, please continue to post.

No! Pat, please continue to post.

I'll ask (once again) everyone on the thread to please attack the dems and DBM, not each other. If you disagree with another FReeper, why not detail why you disagree, rather than get into motives, personalities, and other such nonsense.

I heard Rush say the "What a Babe" comment, and yes, I thought a little bit of the "horndog" came over Rush. Hell, all us men think that way from time to time. In any case, Rush isn't perfect. I'd laugh if I thought I'd EVER encounter any one person who agreed with Rush on every single issue and statement he makes. Allow Fishtalk to be like all the rest of us please. If you disagree with her, say why, not that she's a NOW member or something detractive. Yesterday I saw some minor piling on over her comments.

Changing gears a little, Fish brought up her depression and disapointment in the current Republican party. We all share that from time to time. No one of us are going to agree that things are absolutely fine, but to what degree are they hosed up? We all want to discuss it. Why not do so in a mature manner?

I still contend it's the DBM. I think they give the Dems a 10-15 percent advantage to any election and we still haven't come up with an effective way to counter them, except to bring at least 20% more to the polls. We CANNOT do so if we're fighting among ourselves.

Well, I did freepmail you, but not because I was offended.

As I said to you in the freepmail, which I would gladly make public if you like, I simply thought you were losing credibility on this thread by continuing to beat the dead horse on what was really an insignificant matter.

I also told you I like you and enjoy your comments.

I don't see why that would have upset you and certainly hope it didn't contribute to your deciding not to post on the Sunday thread.
