For one thing I never thought that the comments I make on this forum would directly influence anyone much less pols in power. I do know however that the free exchange of ideas and the amount of excellent information prevalent on this forum enlightens many previously ignorant types and allows other to make informed decisons about who they vote for. Pols would like to ignore freepers and other muckrakers, but they can't. Because ignored voters are still voters. If I thought that the Republicans in power were following a wrong course, I guarantee you I will vote for another party.

You should have been here for the Monica thing. We really shook the Pillars of Heaven that time. The Clintonites were freaking out, and it took them quite a while to craft a plan to shut this place down.
