<p>It’s OK, I also happen to be in a state where the Republican senator is slated to lose. That’s because his opponent is really a Republican dressed up like a Democrat. (And the Republican really is a loser…)</p>
<p>Deciding on something based on erroroneous information and then not changing your mind even you have better information is supposed to be a sign of strength?</p>
<p>wow, dadguy. 30/42. a heroic couplet.</p>
<p>“Deciding on something based on erroroneous information and then not changing your mind even you have better information is supposed to be a sign of strength (or weakness)?”</p>
<p>None of the above. But changing your mind and then criticizing others when you have no solution is neither a strength or a weakness. It’s John Kerry and Hillary Clinton.</p>
<p>Yup, I’m a legend in my own mind.</p>
<p>collegialmom: the vote was taken based on a pack of lies and misinformation and in an atmosphere of “if you vote no…you are for Sadam and the terrorists…you are unpatriotic to vote no…” Truely intelligent people change their minds when presented with new and compelling data. They are labeled “flip floppers” because they dare to think, analyze and re-evaluate. I prefer leaders who are willing to admit they made a mistake when confronted with new/correct information, than politiicians who sing the party line and “stay the course” even when the ugly truth slaps them in the face.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, independent thinkers are often marginalized in US political parties…and booted out of parties in most other countries.</p>
<p>Toe the line, baby.</p>
<p>I have seen no viable plan written by the Democrats about how to get out of Iraq. Please forward a link if you have one. In the state in which I live, there is virtually no difference between Dems and Republicans, except some have fathers who were in politics, so they have more name recognition, and some have more money so they can buy an election. Issue-wise, no difference. Everyone is pretty much against abortion, for the troops, regrets Iraq, etc etc etc.</p>

<p>Why, thank you Driver. You are too kind. I think the world of you, too!</p>

<p>And he did it in August, when many of JL’s supporters were off the coast of MA (although we aren’t registered to vote in THAT primary).</p>
