@ Bobert [[Actually I gotta laugh when I read these moronish letters to the editor written by people who say they are Dems and then go on to sing the Repub company fight song at the top of their lungs... Yeah, lotta them, too, out there.]]

Yep. And that's yet another way the wealthy backers of the Republicans spend their $$ to support that party and its ideology: they pay people to a) post things like that on various websites, b) call radio talk shows and spout that sort of thing (e.g, "I'm a Democrat and I agree with you, Thom Hartman, 95% of the time, BUT ... (insert right-wing talking point, ofteb followed by some reason not to vote for the Democrats this fall) and/or c) constantly edit Wikipedia pages to skew the content towards the right wing.
