    He thought Bush could be a good president, admires Scalia's legal talents & has a soft spot for O'Reilly

    I kinda think the perspective of this "observer" is leveled from somewhere other than the exact center.

    I totally agree w/a previous poster who chalks this up to yet another scolding of progressives to work harder to accomodate our political opponents. Screw that.

    Yeah, I have a hard time finding common ground, or being civil to, the party of torturers, gay-bashers, religious zealots who want to "nuke" the world, racists, etc.

    Sorry, life is too short to woo the freaks.

    Call me intractable.
