If you doubt my qualifications to read a court case, please read my bio.

I took you up on your offer and I would like to say that you and I do not agree on everything; the flat tax versus taxing consumption being an example. That said, reasonable people can disagree and I think you always conduct yourself in a way that brings credibility to this forum.

I wish the people who mis-characterize Mitt Romney's history and views could see themselves as others see them. Name calling and hostility are not acceptable behavior for anyone, but especially people who claim to be conservatives. Once again I will invoke Ronald Reagan's 11th Commandment: Thou Shalt Not Speak Ill of Another Republican.

The author of the piece I excerpted in post #342, is the one who authored the comment about qualifications, and his name is David French. If he favors a flat tax, it is mere coincidence that he agrees with me. My real name is TAdams and while the author and I may have high IQ's in common (well I know mine is : )), I unfortunately, do not share the author's most excellent credential's.

It is most difficult to NEVER speak ill of another Republican Zevon, but our "friends" seem to take it to levels yet unparalleled. Even the posters on DU and Daily KOS know better than to speak that way about their own. I agree with you.
