How can brainless people even construct such a sentence, I wonder? If supporting removal of an evil man makes one a 'brainless Bushbot', then said 'Bushbots' should reserve the right to call all others 'kneejerk naysayers', who disagree for the sad, smug self-satisfaction of not being one of the crowd. Teenagers rebel for the sake of rebelling. Some never grow out of it.
A little labored; vicious enough to be Christian, but too many words. Why not just accuse me of being a Satan-worshipping flamin' fruit and let it go at that?
By the way, we Satan-worshipping FFs prefer that 'The Opposition' be capitalized; it's only polite.
They contract it out to Democratic Party Spinmeisters, who deliver the goods in very large type.
I won't sit idly by and watch you trash the flag-waving neo-con soccer-moms here on FR. Oh wait, I will. Sorry.
