What a gratifying moment in the discussion. Last fall, as you will recall, Ari Fleisher, among other lying thieves, stated that any dissent was to be considered treason. We seem to getting our wits back. Your easy and disingenuous dismissal of my argument about the obvious and probably criminal arrangement between Tom White offering the purse of the American taxpayer to an obvious abuser like Oil Slick Dick is noted and noted with sadness because of your resolute decision to avoid the full thrust of the argument while dismissing me as being too shrill. When a nation is in the midst of a rape, should we do what the rapist suggests, and just enjoy it? Is that your answer to an unprecedented arrangement for military logistics that stinks to high heaven and has dozens of red flags of corruption and self-dealing hanging off every side of the edifice? Why shouldn't I be shrill? Why should I be politely demure when the Bush Cabal is bashing the American taxpayer in the side of the head with a baseball bat, and robbing us silly? Why be mealy-mouthed? Except to play into the hands of the rapist in the manner of the Stockholm Syndrome? -Ray ***************************"My next thing is to drive mealy-mouthism from the Democratic Party. The American people are not going to elect somebody to defend America who cannot defend themselves. Republicans have learned that they can say anything they want to. When you answer it, a lot of Democrats are horrified. They say you can't do that, that it's negativism. No, it's not. It's deciding that you aren't going to let thuggery work. We are the party that knows what works. We are the party for fiscal discipline. We are the party for an economic policy that works. We are the party who had the respect of the world when our President went abroad." --James Carville, Patriot
