I guess I really don't know what your getting at, but I assume you are implying that it is wrong to use Wellstone's name and words in a post where I say that Bush is stupid. The only thing I can really say is that my comment isn't a partisan swipe so much as it is my observation that Bush is doing some things I consider evil, but I don't think he is doing them because he is evil as much as because he isn't aware of the wrong he is doing. I support the late senator's view of taking politics back to the people of this country and maintaining his compassionate agenda. Bush is in more pockets than the Sacagawea dollar and his compassion is readily seen in his cutting children's health care money to pay for his tax cuts. I see no qualm asking people to vote with their hearts and in the same breath speaking against a president who listens to his heart as often as America listens to AM radio.

Actually, the comment was simply about your sig, not relating to this thread in the slightest. I probably should have just PM'd it to you. I didn't know Wellstone personally, so honestly I can't say whether he was a good man or not, but his policies made no sense to me at all. The service was, simply put, disgusting, and for me it tarnishes any image that I had of Wellstone.
I would much rather that someone vote with the organ that deals with logic and sense, than impulsive emotional response.*
*Yes, I am aware that the heart is merely a pump, but it is commonly referred to in a way that suggests it is a center of emotion, as it is in the quote in question.
