[Grovenet] God forbid there should be a Freudian slip

[Geri]

I think the same thing, re PUMAs, that it's "operation chaos," etc.

Finding it really sad what the word Republican has come to signify, and hope someday the Rs can honestly reclaim some respectability. Have always done my best to vote independently of party, and sometimes in decades past (in various states where I've lived) even decided an R was the better/best person for a position -- though not all that often, as they've basically been on a greedy, dishonest downhill slide for most of my voting life.
