Considering the wide divide in the way such dissatisfaction is expressed between you and various stripes of leftist, I can understand and appreciate your disgust with those who do not reign in their hyperbole in the name of reason. I agree with you in that I feel the extremes often lend themselves to such stupidity, allowing themselves to make undisciplined emotional statements of the self congratulatory attaboy type that would cause anyone with a stiff backbone to break their own arm. But too, there is some degree of irony in that you and the people you disdain share some degree of common cause. Irony can suck can't it?<G> Well, I'm being an irksome imp here. But any reservations you might have concerning our President are shared by .......... a few others......... who do not fit very well into your particular political pigeonhole. I think it is entirely predictable that you will find opinions that you dislike, yet echo your own. You should not let this cause you discomfort. It is simply in the nature of the situation. > But you're > right, I don't think he was calling for it.

(Assasination) Just like the Republicans who were happy when Kennedy was assasinated. It's repugnant, but it does happen. xponent Dr. Girlfriend Or Molotov Cocktease?
