There is a reason I have not read your posts to me: You are uncivil, positing motives and ideas upon me that I've never stated.
Please note the difference between our exchanges and the ones I held with DB. We disagreed, but still had a respectful exchange. That's the difference.
I wish you a productive day of atonement and reconciliation.

You must be a fan of Boxer or Campbell.
The reason Palin endorsed Fiorina was to stop Tom Campbell, who before the endorsement seemed to be the easy winner of the primary.
Voting started in 6 days and Tom Campbell was well ahead with 35% of the vote, and climbing.
Campbell supports abortion rights and gay marriage, and argues that Boxers greatest asset against either of his two Republican opponents, former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina and state Assemblyman Chuck DeVore, would be the states decidedly un-conservative social views.
She has always been able to move the debate over to the social issues. She will not be able to do that against me, Campbell told POLITICO.
During the campaign for U.S. Senate in 2000, Campbell touted his 100 percent pro-choice voting record. He opposed a ban on partial birth abortions, one of the most horrific abortion practices. (Conservatives Agonize Backing Campbell, Roll Call, August 7, 2000.)
Campbell in 1992 made abortion the center stage of his campaign. In the 1992 election, Campbells TV ad ran with the following caption: For choice, for jobs, for U.S. Senate. In another ad, he said, Im pro-choice and one of the most conservative members of Congress when it comes to spending.In a Republican debate, he described his abortion views, as good for voters looking for someone who is willing to break with the party line from time to time.
