Originally Posted By friendofdd Actually, it does make sense. If only others could make a differentiation as well.

That doesn't make me liberal or conservative. Politics just doesn't really cut it when it comes for caring for each other.

Originally Posted By friendofdd That's the way it should be, Miss C. I don't care a lot for him as President, either. I had a hard time respecting Mr. Clinton when he was in office, because I think a man should be faithful to his wife. I harbor hatred for neither of them. But for a long time now, intense hatred for opposing political persons has been evident. It defies common sense.
