Momalle, interesting how we used to argue during the election about the merits of Bush and Kerry and now were on the same side. Just goes to show that it's the moderates against the extremes and the difference between all of us reasonable people in the middle is really very small indeed.


Then again, I'm probably just a liberal in denial b/c I won't demonize Clinton and polish Bush's ****. I'll tell you who is in denial, it’s the guys who say "I don't blindly support everything bush does!" and then jump on any opposing viewpoint like a fat guy on a donut (and trust me that's pretty fast, I should know). That’s denial of being just another unthinking puppet of the Republican machine. Maybe you want to go and hang with the stooges that drink the lefty kool aid; you've actually got lots in common after you get past the politics. Think about it, self righteousness, arrogance, a fair amount of ignorance, little tolerance, no objectivity, limited vision, delusional thinking and denial of reality. Should be a great party.

OK, I'll be back tomorrow night as I have no computer access tomorrow at work. I'm sure I'll be roasted pretty well by then.

Now back to our regularly scheduled pointless bickering.
