one is committing crimes against humanity. But that's me and I have a thing against people who do things like that. I don't understand staying married to someone like that.

Not everyone thinks the same way. For instance, I didn't once reply to anyone praising her asking why they praised her. Because I know not everyone thinks the same. I simply gave my opinion, same as everyone else.

But let me not praise a republican on a pro-Democrat website and look at the bullshit I catch.

I won't praise a republican on DemocraticUnderground and, somehow, that offends people enough for them to question my reasons.

I can think of an exception for Mrs George Bush - if she feared Shrub having her waterboarded or being slapped around or using dogs against her or being shipped to another country for extra torture, etc., then I can understand her silence.
