You are absolutely rigth of course. As a liberal I have taken to copying
those conservative paragons of virtue including Limbaugh, Hannety, O'Reilly,
Helms, Gindrich,. Boy, I the number of civil conservatives who are always
respectful of those with differeing opinions just goes on and on forever.
By the way, it isn't clear how a dislike of Bush correlates to votes against
Gore. I don't think any of the Dems took him for granted if that what you are
trying to imply. The race was close throughout and Gore and his people knew
he was in a dog fight.
