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!
