"What was that all about? " He seemed so dead set against motherhood... Frankly, that's not what I heard from Z. What I got was that Z likes Kerry but he doesn't worship him at the same alter as AS. The reason I got that is because I've seen how in awe AS is of Kerry. True, you only asked a question. But the context and the question itself does indicate that was your intent. If not, then you have my apologies. Ten has a penchant for trying to put the GOP in the best possible light so my question to him was done sarcastically while intending to put him on the spot. However, you assumed you understood my question and judged accordingly.......and you too Z. I don't appreciate that from anyone. You may have been right but you could have asked first before passing judgement........and that also includes you as well Z. And true, I don't really know how people would react. Situation can make a big difference. For example, standing in a crowd and a small group starts to boo. You might be horrified or think they are jerks. But if you are standing in a crowd and everyone around you starts to stand up and boo, you might join in yourself. So the dynamics can also play a part. At this point, nothing would surprise me. I went into this race expecting to see the outrageous only from the far right AND the far left. However, what I am seeing is that the even the moderate right has become outrageous and prone to lying. In July, it suddenly dawned on them that they may lose this one and the tone of their campaign changed very quickly as did the tenor of the GOP posters on this thread. And some indicate that they events might not have been the same as what was reported. I will note that it wouldn't surprise me if it had. The people allowed into many Bush events are screened and the criteria used means that a high percentage of the audience are of the opinion that Clinton, if not being the actual spawn of Satan, is at least behind a lot of things that might as well have been done by the SoS. Yes, they are very sick and the ultimate irony is that Clinton is not the spawn of Satan but they are.......that the evil is within them and not Clinton. So they are pre-disposed to booing in any case. As far a Bush's reported actions, or lack there of, it wouldn't surprise me. I've never seen him stand up to a crowd and try yo get them to do something other than what they want to do. As a speaker, he isn't quick on his feet. I guess this is the biggest reason they go to such great lengths to keep hecklers out, he can't handle going off script. Its more than that.......Bush is playing good cop and letting all his subhuman cronies play bad cop. He wishes Clinton well like a choir boy and lets the crowd boo that gesture. Its calculated and its desired. The Dems need to get it.......we, in fact, are dealing with bad people who are unprincipled and will do whatever it takes to win. Bush's people will throw out anyone from his rallies who even smells of being a Bush hater. Kerry's people ask them to move......its ridiculous. These people see politeness as weakness......something to be exploited. You fight fire with fire! Kerry and his cohorts need to take off their gloves and come out fighting.
