What is with the name calling. That is exactly the problem that the thread is about. Nobody can talk, as soon as someone disagrees it has to be name calling. Taconicus is trying to engage in a simple debate and discussion. I don't see him calling names .. you don't have to agree, you certainly are entitled to your difference in view ... but the name calling is not warranted. I have my view which come from a registered independent, we are the guys that really do swing the elections so I do like to hear everyone speak on issues.
