Does this ever work for you LeineLodge? When you start off a response this way, do people say: "Oh, I sure don't want LeineLodge to have this opinion of me so I better ignore clear evidence so LeineLodge will like me again."

I like the idea of another ALPA PAC. We've already got this one that lives for electing far left liberals, so I propose the ALPA SAC (for members that still have a pair

). The ALPA SAC would support conservative politicians who believe in larger liberty and smaller government. Then we could both make our "pilot partisan" cases to our respective legislators. Competition!
