Michelle,I have to disagree with you somewhat here.You know if we just rubber stamp each other then when we do agree [99% of the time] it means nothing.Now I know both JLA and Bill can be a little abrasive at times[or worse] but consider this.I remember before I joined the fray on the scandal thread I lurked for a while and the few Clinton defenders were quickly hounded out.The thread was simply a bunch of conservatives stroking each other and telling tasteless jokes about Chelsea and Hillary.It was only after you, myself and a few others joined in was some real dialog taking place.I hate to say it but if the likes of JLA and Bill left this thread we [that's right you and I] would degenerate to telling fat jokes about Newt and stroking one another about how right we are.We need the loyal opposition to not only keep our fires lit but our ideas honest and sharp.As they do us[in spite of the fact that they wish we would just fade away as well] When we respond to one of their posts we are in fact refining and preparing our own ideas for criticism I don't believe that we could do this just talking among ourselves.
Having spouted all this long winded philosophy I of course acknowledge that this is much easier for me to say as I personally have had to put up with little in the way of insults.While you have had more than your share.Non the less your occasional foray onto the right wing thread shows that you value the challenges offered by tough opposition.Just my opinion of course.
