Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] [POLITICS] interesting article from a former Bush supporter

["Christian M. Cepel" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Um... Mike.. I'm none too happy with the man myself right now, and I'm 
well aware of the fact that he's hurting right now (and deservedly so).

You pretend to know me, but all you know are your own prejudices.  If 
you had actually read and understood my post w/o your preconceptions, I 
would not have to be essentially re-posting what I wrote above.

What I'm telling you is that you need to get out of your circle of 
self-congratulatory unbridled joy over what's going on and you might 
notice, that there are tons of people like me who really felt passionate 
about the man and his presidency and are now very disgruntled and even 
upset.  These are the stories that mean something.  His alienation of 
his political base is a much more poignant story than the the 'hated him 
then, really hate him now' stories you seem to like to post.

You posted this story like it even meant something.  It means nothing.  
All the while there is an overwhelming mass of stories that _do_ mean 
something that you could point out to underscore how badly the Prez is 
suffering.

My point is that I would respect your posts a lot more if they showed 
this understanding.  There is plenty out there to make you legitimately 
feel joyful and smug over the misfortune of your opposition that really 
means something significant.
