Bill,
Your point is valid, IMO (though a bit hair-splitting).
And the counterattack on Jim was right out of the Karl Rove/RNC/Swift
Boat handbook. I hope I live long enough to witness the demise of both
(DNC/RNC dirty tricks books).
I kinda started this thread, so I'll try to put it to bed. With only a
couple exceptions, the comments have been heartfelt and considered (and
yes, emotional). And the tone has been mostly intelligent and
respectful, something you don't see a lot in our daily political
discourse. I think we've all agreed to disagree, and concentrate on our
common interest: Healeys.
History has judged FDR, Truman, Eisenhower and Kennedy; someday, the
Clintons and Bushes will get their turns.
Boy, can't wait until NEXT Friday ;)
