With all due respect, Jim, I believe that was a bit hasty. I hope you'll reconsider.
While I don't agree with all that Darth Sidious had to say, I don't entirely disagree with him either. If I was living in NC, I'd vote for Liddy Dole, but I'd need a big clothespin to do it. And I can understand how her Rosie O'Donnell stand on the 2nd Amendment would turn some Republicans off entirely.
As much as I want to see the GOP take the Senate and control both chambers of Congress and the White House for the first time in my lifetime, "take back the Senate" can't mean we check our brains and our sincere disagreements at the door. There are problems within the Republican Party, and it is not without some trepidation that I hope for our victory in November. I believe there are inclinations within the GOP that need to be avoided to insure victory in 2004, but that will only happen if debate is open among conservatives.
I believe it is in that spirit that Darth Sidious posted as he did, even if I believe that voting for the likes of Erskine Bowles is kinda dumb. Darth is a Freeper and a conservative in good faith, and nothing is gained by his banning.
Thanks for taking the time to hear me out.
