Anyway, dinner. Our speakers for the night were Judge James Rogan (Clinton Impeachment House Manager and CA State Assembly Majority Leader), and Lorraine T Hunt (Nevada Lieutenant Governor).

Rogan rambled about how we were involved in politics to do god's good work and make the world better, including some clever lines about how we are different because we believe we were put here for a reason (while using hand gestures to make a cross), and alluded to the superiority of intelligent design over evolution.

Lorraine Hunt's presentation was far more disturbing. She rambled on about how horrible Senator Reed was, implying that he was a traitor for not supporting Bush and (I'm paraphrasing here, though I wish I had this speech on tape!), asked about "who's side he was really on, ours or the terrorist?" I really don't know how a Lieutenant Governor can accuse a Senator of treason just for having an opinion they disagree with, I was dumbfounded at her lack of basic decency and the way she attacked her political opponent in completely abstract polarizing terms instead of addressing the actual issues and differences of opinion.

1. People have to learn Bush is the traitor

they are just now having to face it.

2. I can't think of a time in U.S. history when such irresponsible rhetoric

came out of the mouths of elected officials--maybe just before the Civil War but I don't think it was this bad even then.

4. IMO, it's because there is NO ACCOUNTABILITY...

Peace.

5. Unless you're a Democrat. Then, Katie bar the door...

...because the Republican hounds of Hell will be on your front porch in less time than it takes to say "fascist fratboy."

3. Treason? Is she in for a rude awakening, or what?

"Whose side is he really on"...well let's hope that he's not on this Administrations side or we'll have another CIA agent outted within the next few days. People like Lorraine Hunt have no business with or for the PEOPLE. It is all about the AGENDA. Period. Grrrrrr...

Peace.
