		<description>Icarus,

The way you constructed your sentence, it appears that you consider your attempts at &quot;truth&quot; and &quot;facts&quot; to be mere ping-pong balls. I agree.</description>

		<description>Been away for a while, so just noticed the responses to my post about the Southern wing  of the Republican Party having racist roots. It doesn&#039;t matter that post-Civil War Republicans &#039;round here were black. It doesn&#039;t matter that some (liberal) Republicans supported civil rights acts. What matters is, there was no viable  Republican Party in the South during the turmoil of the civil rights era UNTIL conservative (read, segregationist) Democrats left and the GOP filled the racist void. That is the source of today&#039;s solid GOP South: tainted seed.</description>

Some of us respect people and try to be decent humans and won&#039;t type them under any circumstances.

If you can&#039;t understand that I apologize.</description>

You are right I am a father, husband, friend and businessman before being a politician!  When I first met you Bill I told you the issues mean more than party or politics to me. In your world I may have my priorities out of whack, but in my little world I sleep better at night!</description>

		<description>&quot;other than rugby fan trying to push me kid out of soccer and into rugby and beers he has always been a stand up guy!&quot;

I believe that shows my fine upstanding character actually.

&quot;You’re not a centrist, and you’re not a right-winger&quot;

Thank you for edifying me on my beliefs Bill. Glad to know you understand my beliefs more than me.</description>

		<description>John,

Truly...this is fascinating...I engage in tough discussions with Rugby, and YOU wade-in with the observation that I am &quot;personally attacking&quot; him!

HELL, I don&#039;t even know that he is a &quot;he!&quot;  He might be a woman for all I know.

I&#039;m sure YOU will then interpret that as a sexist, misogynist attack from me against Rugby!

YOU think calling someone a &quot;left-winger&quot; is a &quot;personal attack?&quot;

You don&#039;t know Jack Sh*t about things, John.  And, I say that after knowing you 2 years...you STILL don&#039;t know anything about politics or commonsense IN politics.</description>

		<description>Rugby,

I have read your material for months.  You&#039;re not a centrist, and you&#039;re not a right-winger.  Ergo, that leaves very few directions possible.

I recall one conversation, but I recall another time I tried to respond, and it was a no-go.</description>

		<description>&quot;I realize Lefties like you tend to be clueless about this concept, but: FREE SPEECH is an equal-opportunity playing field.&quot;

Free speech doesn&#039;t mean you have the right to offend whomever you please. 

I like how you simply assume my political ideology because I choose not to offend people.

Now its interesting that you claim I send messages from a fake email considering we have never had a problem communicating through email. 

Would love to post under my own name, if only my job allowed it.</description>

		<description>Chris Farris,

I wish you would get a clue as to what things mean, and don&#039;t mean.

&lt;b&gt;The cartoons themselves were a representation of the CLINTON CAMP and their “plantation mentality” that they (Bill &amp; Hillary) thought the blacks OWED them their support over any other candidate.

The Photo-shopped image was accurate to those of us not of the Islamic Fundamentalist ilk that went after people like Saloman (sp?) Rushdie.

If you don’t understand the humor as it APPLIES to the Clinton Camp, then you have not been paying attention to the political landscape.&lt;/b&gt;</description>

Slur-away.  It&#039;s not like I&#039;m going to cry myself to sleep over what YOU tell me.

And, who are you, again?  Oh, yeah...someone with so much guts that he fakes return e-mail addresses EVERY single time he writes me with some &quot;secret insider information.&quot;

Go for it, Rugby.  Let it allllll out.</description>
