Which should be the real issue for all Doug. We had a thread awhile back remarking on things that many pols don't have.....like the courage of their convictions, if they have any left. I made mention then of the fact that I really am more concerned with the honesty and courage than their voting record, liberal or conservative.

When my Mom died, the minister at the funeral was a good friend who knew her well and often spent hours with her in conversation. He said something that day that I liked and should be the epitaph of anyone holding public office. "You didn't have to agree with Margie, but you always knew where she stood."
