Thank you for becoming sentient. Perhaps you ought to be a little more careful with that tar brush of yours.

At least you fessed up to it, your so called friends probably still think you're right.......

My friends have been kind. They probably knew I was wrong, but didn’t rub it in. They know me, and that I will take care of my own problem when I make a mistake.

I am honest. If I say something, it’s because I believe it. If I am shown to be wrong, I’ll agree and take my lumps.

Do you realize how rare that is here. Not to pat myself on the back, but in the twelve years I’ve been contributing here, I haven’t had five people come clean with me. We all make mistakes. It’s the honest well-meaning folks who admit to them.

Have I had one person who supports McCain come to me and say, I didn’t realize how bad he was until I read the things you documented? Not one. Have I had one person come to me and say I liked Palin, Fiorina, and Whitman a lot more before I read what type of person they were willing to support? Not one.

The folks on my side may not always get it, but at least they’re open and honest about what they do run across. That list of mine does disturb them. It does disturb them that people could sign on to support a man like that.

That’s open, curious, and honest. It would be nice to see a glimmer of that from folks who profess to be open and honest and righteous here, when trashing folks like us for addressing reality.
