Hi Johnso29,
I do appreciate you as a moderator....that's a great word. When it comes to discussing politics, a moderator is what is desperately needed. The discussion inevitably denigrates to name-calling, and mud slinging. There's some quote that I can't seem to finish, but it's something like "....character assassination is the last bastion of the ill informed..." You always know when ANOTHER guy KNOWS he's lost the debate on the merits of his argument--as he will resort to name-calling. None of us want this board to turn in to 'that kind of place'. So, what I'm trying to say, is, "Thanks". For all you do, this Bud's for you--(sorry, couldn't resist).
