re re Bushspeak

[calbert at hslboxmaster.com]

Jbor has, for the most part, illustrated how one can take a critical 
stance which does not rely on political animus as its premise. This 
does not make jbor a Scrubby cultist, but rather, a progressive 
"pragmatist", a becoming cut, I might add.....

I take issue with Jbor's comments about Gore losers crying in their 
farina

a) because it cheapens his otherwise rational position

b) because it too overlooks the fact that objections on priciple to 
Bush are motivated, at least at this address, by far greater 
concerns, of which the Florida "mugging of democracy" merely a 
symptom......

The Bushes, regardless of how you feel about Millison's objections, 
really ARE bad people, to the core (for a brief overview see:

http://www.mediafilter.org/MFF/BushFamilyPreys.html

or  

http://www.motherjones.com/news_wire/bushboys.html)

........and I say this as someone who actually considered Poppy a 
viable candidate back in 1980, and who was anxious to cast a vote 
for Senator McCain - not because I agree with him on most of his 
conservative positions, but because he had the fundamental 
qualities that I prefer to see in my "leader"....

Is it possible for Milllison to dampen his enthusiasm for branding 
others as Bush fanatics, while Jbor takes another peek at what 
informs those of us who believe that he and his siblings should be 
rotting in a dank dark cell?
