Please read my post - my argument is about style not substance. I officially fell into the "oppose" camp yesterday after reading the 1993 speech. However, my problem is with comments like "cleaning lady", "church lady", "writes like a 7th grader", and making fun of personal notes.

I agree, opposing her was correct. I have a BIG problem with the way it was done by some. If everyone had voiced their opposition like Rush Limbaugh instead of like Ann Coulter, we would have had the same result, and EVERYONE could have been proud of it. It just feels like a hollow victory.

I'm from the south. Manners fall just below God and Country to me.

I'm no friend of the poorly-mannered, either. I guess being on the East Coast my whole life I've learned to simply filter out poor manners and to ignore them. But those people are not typical, they are mostly fringe individuals with poor self-control. Overall the conservative opposition was well-spoken, well-reasoned, factually correct, and showed it could fight like a... oh, what's the right metaphor... a "pit bull in size 6 shoes"?
