who opposed Bush's policies smeared in recent years. But airc, Scheurer had the status to point out the lies. I don't recall anyone asking 'but is he a Republican, a Libertarian, NOT a Democrat'? No, we never paid attention to the political affiliation of those who opposed Bush publicly, except to congratulate them, see Drake eg, for 'having the courage to speak against their OWN PARTY'

For some reason this has changed for a few here. All of a sudden their political affiliations have been the PRIMARY 'concern' of a few.

Interesting, isn't it? The way things change for some.
