The Democrates are no better than the Republicans, both have stupid polices/ideas and good policies/ideas. This is why the country will always suffer, people looking at the nuts in each party and not looking at the good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309311177399464085.post-88840611564230991892010-01-05T20:19:07.106-06:002010-01-05T20:19:07.106-06:00Anon - Jan 3,

What was said of people who disagreed with him? was that not an inaccurate, unfair generalization?)<br /><br />Regarding generalizations, how have community organizers, union members, non-Christians, and some people of a diverse background been characterzed by the supposedly morally superior Republicans (Palin, Giuliani, Kirk, etc.)?<br /><br /><br />Call me what you want. People who are supposedly fiscal conservatives borrowed for a tax cut, an unnecessary war, and an incomplete Medicare Reform Act. If many of these GOP'ers stand for nothing or engage in relative morality, they shouldn't expect significant respect and praise. <br /><br />Calling me a name or generalizing about Dem's won't hide the Sanford's, Gingrich's, and Hyde's of the world, who are held in high esteem by your party, nor will it distract us from the unfortunate political gambling being done by Repubs on the public dole while being eligible for health insurance we all pay for.

As I understand it, True had not heard the ad and the Trib lead him to think he was quoted saying that Kirk is gay. Which, if you closely parse his words, is not what True said.<br /><br />But I think we all know what he meant. Of course in fairness if we want to know what True meant, we probably have to ask True.<br /><br />-BB-Barney Baxterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994042251401940234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309311177399464085.post-73148700818101051402010-01-03T20:46:48.224-06:002010-01-03T20:46:48.224-06:00Crazy4glf,
