Time for you to eat some crow. Helly New

True. Ted was an elected hazck out of the same bolt of cloth rove was. You can like his direction... rroberts New

feedback

Like the guy or not, your position is obvious but don't claim he never accomplished anything. <NT> Helly New

note

interesting, exactly what elected office did Rove hold? roscoepwavetrain New

none and comparing one political party hack to another is spot on. You may like what Ted did to his... rroberts New

doh

that is total bullshit. rustyboater New

note

Oh. you mean it's different because you like rove's victims and didn't like Ted's victims. <NT> rroberts New
