I used "horrible person" because I am so fed up with the Republican scorched earth policy of destroying anyone or anything against W's reelection by wrapping themselves in the flag and saying anyone and/or anything that dares to speak out against them is an unpatriotic member of Al-Q who needs to be financially slaughtered and publicly humiliated, which is what this person is doing and/or implying. I think that make her horrible

I guess I am stil smarting from Max Cleland's defeat here in GA. The R's, with W's blessings, called a man "unpatriotic" and "Al-Q sympathiser" who left two legs and an arm on the battlefield in Vietnam - they called him this because he dared to vote against the creation of the Dept. of Homeland Sec. becuase the R.'s wanted to use the furor over 9/11 to slip in denying these 144,000 govt. employess their right to be unionized and get other govt. benefits that every other govt. employee gets and that some of these people would be getting until their jobs were switched for them by the creation of this new Agency. That was horrible. May God forgive them for that because that was just a sin in my book. Again, the man ledt about half of his body defending this country and those who chose not to go called him unpatriotic - that is the length Karl Rove will go to to keep power and it just sickens me.

Note: Nancy - this rant was not at you darlin'
