I appreciate it, Bruce, but I don't believe that you have to keep your opinions to yourself and I hope that is not what you took away from it. Rather, I'd ask you to choose your words more carefully to express what you really mean. At least, I'm going under the assumption that you don't really believe that Pelosi is actually a whore. Misguided, sure. Arrogant, dismissive, and bad for our country, sure. Corrupt? Ok. But "whore" is a very loaded word that really highlights the fact that she is a woman.
When you call her a whore, you're basically ignoring the fact that she's a Senator like all the 99 folks in that chamber. You are making it all about her gender. I'd like to think that you'd have the same opinion of her if she were a man (correct me if I'm wrong). Given that, I'd say share your opinions, by all means, but try and do so in a way that calls out her actions and beliefs, not her gender.
