Certainly I don't expect to find agreement with all or even most of my stands, but I do hope that I can raise certain points that from time to time are worthy of consideration.Mule Breathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05586696064321854554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7990876628413018080.post-79140687115157142622009-08-17T06:52:12.461-05:002009-08-17T06:52:12.461-05:00Agreed, now if only the party leaders and the talk...Agreed, now if only the party leaders and the talking heads would follow that same course.

Therefore there are Democrats and Republicans who can legitimately point fingers at the perpetrators on the other side. <br /><br />Right now there are Dems calling foul on the town hall vandals. and they have every Mule Breathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05586696064321854554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7990876628413018080.post-34208546543435110172009-08-16T19:01:22.420-05:002009-08-16T19:01:22.420-05:00We seem to agree on much, and I shouldn't have...We seem to agree on much, and I shouldn't have said "nobody read" I should have said many didn't read. My main issue is that bills are written to loosely. There needs to be clear cut directives or they will be interpreted in ways not intended.
