Hey Doug--

Good to hear from you again.

In fact I've mentioned my party affiliation before. Yes, I'm a Republican and a veteran-- are you a veteran? Among many other issues with Mr. Bush which I have detailed elsewhere on Mudcat, I'm annoyed at how Bush gamed the system and his cronies have attacked a real military hero. And ( I like to believe) I'm a thinking person--i.e. a Kerry voter. There's nothing wrong with a thinking Republican--it's not an oxymoron--rather than a knee-jerk bomb-'em-back-to-the-Stone-Age type.

Pray tell, which type are you?


I'm going to the Getaway soon---have to check on Monday about how things are going. here.
