I started to respond to your post, point by point, but realized, quickly, it was turning into a book...lol. So I decided to just ask a few questions.

1)Do you think that because people disagree with you re: MSNBC, Blair, Putin, the U.N. or Todd, that you are being personally attacked? You seem quite angry that some have disagreed with you. If some have personally attacked you, I agree, that is wrong. But simply challenging another's opinion is NOT a personal attack, imo.

2)Do you think that when a person posts opinions that are CONSISTENTLY critical of the GOP or President Bush, that this is helpful to achieving our goals in 2004?

I, personally, have not seen any supporters of this administration who blindly follow lock-step behind an icon.

What I HAVE seen is disagreement with specific issues or stances, WITHOUT the need to state the following (and I can provide sources should you require them):

Bush is a traitor Bush is in bed with terrorists
Bush is a U.N. man
Bush is a commie
Bush is a liberal
Bush is just like Bill Clinton
Bush is not pro-life
Bush is anti-Constitution
Bush is anti-family
Bush is a liberal
Bush is a fake president
Bush is a gun grabber

Now......this is all from the same poster. How is this helpful? And I can assure you that in each of those instances, debate was not possible. Questions went unanswered. Facts went unresponded to. Instead....an accusation of 'smearing' was made. And this is MULTIPLE people asking...questioning. Not just some cabal.

I am really interested in seeing your opinion. I agree that diversity of opinion is good. I do NOT agree that, just like on this thread, if I state MY opinion that Blair has been courageous and a good friend to us during this war, that *I* am now a socialist....or a lover of liberal commie rats. What say you?
