I'm impressed at the blossom forming oh-so-beautifully in this thread.

AaronP: KK is yanking your Internet chain and apparently it is working. If you hung with KK in person, you two would get along fine. Just like nearly everyone else here.

As far as the Wilson outburst, the point I haven't heard mentioned is there are MANY people have the same type of uncontainable contempt/rage for Obama and nearly anything he tries to promote. Unfortunately, those same people are literally and figuratively the loudest voices in the party. Everyone is condemning Wilson's actions but he is representitive of what has happened to the Republicans and why they are so easy to attack. Foolishly, moderate Republicans and true conservatives allowed all this to happen, sometimes overtly and somtimes by not dismissing some of the craziest stuff.
