i would agree with that. i just don't like it, it seems so nasty. so them. i hated it
when it was bill clinton, you know europe laughted at us over that. how preoccupied we
were with something that to them meant nothing.
this is exactly why they mention cheney's daughter. He says he is pro family and yet
his own daughter who is a lesbian will be denied rights by him and his prez. she
wasn't at the convention on the stage with the rest of the family nor was her partner.
i don't see how you can deny your own daughter or family like that.

Have read both sides of this forum relating to whether the Sinclair's

The reference to Hitler didn't take long to surface. While I don't
think individual behavior is a key
component in the Sinclair debate, it is fair in the overall discussion
since this is a SINCLAIR inspired
and motivated action. We are entitled to as much information about the
INDIVIDUAL who is doing
this because it is relevant to the character of the INDIVIDUAL pursuing
this action.
His public record is extremely relevant since he's trying to sway the
public. If he's a known public
fornicator, that says SOMETHING about the man, just as Bill O'Reilly has
shown his shortcomings
in the COMMON SENSE department. In both cases we are dealing with
people who have their
own agenda to push. These aren't shrinking violets, they're high
profile individuals deeply mired in
the politics of our era. While I agree that personal sexual conduct
(consenting) shouldn't be an issue,
it is people like Sinclair, O'Reilly, and the cadre of rightwing media
that made it so (Clinton).
Would you say Rush Limbaugh's drug use is a personal issue as well? I
would; right up to the point
where he gets on the radio and shouts death to the drug users. After
that, it's fair game to hoist them
on their own petards.
Definitely too late for them to cry foul.
Enjoy.
