IMHO, AIT's not the enemy here...honestly, I think he's trying to hold Simon's feet to the fire more than trying to undercut his candidacy. I was around for the GoPatGo/Dubyuh FReeperWars and there is still a lot of distrust and hard feelings on this site because of those debates. If I recall correctly, AIT was a GoPatGoer and, if so, I'm sure he still bears the scars of unfair attacks from the BushBackers. Let's keep that in mind as we attempt to absorb the Brigadiers back into our ranks. If they reject our kindness and understanding, we will have exposed them at RAT Trolls, of which there were/are many.
Personally, I do not believe AIT's one of THEM!!
FReegards...MUD
There is too much at stake in the Republic. And there are too many instances of conservative principles being sold down the river so the result was we got exactly what the Dem's proposed, only maybe in slower installments over a longer period of time.
Call it P.Q.C. or whatever.

Somebody's 'gotta do it. We all have our role in the cogs of the machine. ;-)
