OK, that's fair enough. I thought you were referring to the opinion floated by the strongest anti-war Democrats that the American people put Democrats in power to, basically, implement the agenda of those anti-war Democrats. As it stands, a fairly evenly divided nation leaned towards the Democrats in '06...it did not give liberal Democrats a mandate. So, we don't seem to differ on this. I just differ with other folks. :-) _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
