Rory, I presented my views in an essay form a few days ago. I was somewhat surprised that you chose to not respond.--Eddie

Eddie,

I was glad to see someone on your side take a few minutes and respond.

I don't necessarily agree with your conclusions, but I do respect the fact that you shared your opinions in a polite, articulate, well thought out and outlined form.

I consider you one of the more mature and intellectually engaging representatives on your side of the political spectrum.

When someone starts insulting and calling people names when they can't refute or respond to the facts presented--it tells observers alot more about the person hurling the insults than it does about the person there being hurled at. The fact that you address issues and not people makes you stand out above many.

The question I posed was not intended to draw out views so I could rebut them--Just a simple question to inquire if there was any one left on the left that still admired Kerry and was as enthusiastic to vote for him as much as they hated Bush and were enthusiastic about voting agaist him.
