Opie-
As a Democratic candidate for office down here in Texas, I think that the answer to your question is best summed up by an e-mail I received from someone who, needless to say, seems a typical Bush supporter. I, am, of course, to the left of Chairman Mao...
The e-mail was, as is typical of a generation of self centered suburbanites "Mother of Three Asks a Question of You?" (as if the fact that she can reproduce makes her better than someone else) It follows...
"As a mother of 3 young children, I am scared of the
fact that a liberal might be representing my area.
How do you justify, as a liberal, trying to represent
us in a time when our nation is at war and our
homeland is secure only because we have a man in the
office who is willing to do the things that libs claim
is what is hurting us?"
It is as a result of these types of people, on either side, that we have what we have for government in this country. I'm coining a maxim now, and its going to be, "People who live by rhetoric should die by the sword."?
