I'm afraid we've gotten started on the wrong foot.

My little quote had nothing to do with you. It was a description of my philosophy, not yours. It has to be taken in its entirety, not just one piece...

My country right or wrong. When it's right, keep it right. When it's wrong, make it right.

It is my absolute obligation to insist that we maintain a course of democratic (small d) principles. It is my obligation to fight for those principles. Long ago I took an oath to uphold the constitution. I have never believed that oath had an expiration date stamped on it.

I haven't forgotten what's at stake and I know exactly what he's dealing with. He is a very smart man.

So are we. Maybe he ought to start paying attention to us.

So far everytime I've been pissed at him I haven't been wrong. That doesn't mean I don't support him and want him to fail. It just means I have to speak a little louder cause he hasn't been hearing me.

BTW, I've found that the media and the WH staff pay attention to these forums...this one particularly.
