You validly use my oft-said argument.

Part of the reason we lost the Senate and Congress was that many Republicans had decided to NOT vote to send Bush a message. And entered us into the morasse we face today by “abstaining” and thus doubling the effect of every Democrat vote as there was not one opposing it.

If you are angry at your face, spa not spite it.

I was depressed for weeks over that loss, I'm not easily depressed I might add.

Thank you for saying it once again.

Thanks FARS. A child stomping their foot, [ to the 'n'th degree ], would be the perfect 'eye example' of that stubborn mindset.
