Well, Uncle Dave O., good for you! You were a Republican until 1996. That will give you multiple brownie points with most of the members of the Mudcat particularly when you proclaim yourself to be a ...oops, sorry, I don't believe you now profess to be anything other than a 'aginner now. What is the party of your youth? Green? Naw, probably not. Commie, ...well, probably not: Independent...I doubt it since you fit so well with the majority here on the Mudcat...oh, let me guess ...DEMOCRAT! Yeah! Okie dokie. If that makes you comfortable, right on I say.

If you are comfortable having a president who is anti-war in an environment that is warlike (not of our own choosing) so be it.

I say, though, if Kerry is elected, God help us all.
