mkl54321 buddy,
Thanks for the good laugh. The "ego of one man" I was referring to
was Saddam Hussein. If he would just step down, all this could be
avoided. Good luck. TomSki

ps. Those that know me would hardly call me a liberal. LOL. Cheers.

Broke out laughing while reading this. I think there's a mischievous streak
in Tom. The way it was written it could have been interpreted either way.

Congratulations you outed two Republicans with one shot!

Congratulations you outed two Republicans with one shot!

Actually, why would opposition to the Democrats/liberals
automatically make one a Republican? I, for example, am an affiliate
of neither party, but I still object to the Democratic agenda of
automatic opposition to a sitting opposition-party president. We
would have settled this Iraq thing months ago but for petty party
politics on the part of the Demos.

And by the way, why the reference to "outed"? The suggestion you
make is that being a Republican is somehow shameful and should be
repressed, like being gay or a cross-dresser or something. Like I
said, I am affiliated with neither party, but I see nothing shameful
in aligning with the party that did NOT produce the two worst
practical jokes of the century, Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton.

Given all that, I think TomSki really was referring to Saddam-baby
in his original post all along. He's not THAT devious!!

(Are you, TomSki?)

I'm sure gay cross dressing Republicans everywhere breath a
collective sigh of relief and thank you for your support and
understanding;-)
