Yer welcome, my self-described liberal FRiend.
"If you read the articles closely, Leahy is being criticized for his aggressive, vindictive style, not for his policy or ideas."
Just to see Lefties criticize Leahy at all was what warmed my heart.
"And DeLay is being praised for his advocacy of child welfare, usually a cause favored by liberals. The main reason he supports it is because his wife works with child welfare."
SHEEESH...couldn't have anything to do with the fact that Delay's a caring, compassionate person, could it?! This Lib'ral Brainwashing you got is a tough thing to shake, ain't it?!
MUD
I'll tell you what's tough to shake: this Cowboys brainwashing! It's got to be the reason why I keep rooting for them, week after week, hoping they'll pull the game out. =P
As for DeLay, it's only strange when you consider the amount of adult welfare packages he's helped to shoot down. Anyway, you can be a compassionate person without supporting welfare...right? =)
