First, a shout out to Eric at the Tygrrrr Express.

Eric, or 'g' as I affectionately call him - Hey g! ;-> - has inspired me to blovi....hm..um...pontifi...er, uh... share...my observations on the topic du jour. Thanks, guy.

One request of all who comment: If you must, attack the issue, not the commentators. Even if you believe all republicans are the spawn of satan, and I his concubine, keep it to yourself. Such remarks are really not constructive. Civil and respectful discourse is useful, and educational. Although I have a point a view, my biggest desire is to understand the others. Example: Everyone and their dog - yellow or other wise - believed the same thing Bush acted on about Iraq, Hussein and the weapons of mass destruction issue. How then can one say he lied? You know. Stuff like that. 

Also, thanks to Townhall for giving me the space.  I hope you don't regret it. ;->

Carry on.
