With regard to one of Rapaire's posts. He and I have a good friendship despite having been on 'option that stories of that nature about Mcposite' sides of the Vietnam issue in the 1960s. One of the things I admire about the ol' fart is that he not only talks the talk but also walks the walk.
I think in terms of this election that stories of that nature about McCain are beneath contempt (and that is not directed at Stringsinger). And the people who start stories like that are equally beneath contempt.
Democrats don't need shit like that to 'win'. I'd bet that Obama speaks to the issue at some point (soon I hope), and that's as it should be. Fuck the Republican tactics.
