No. Your words are that of an imbecile.

One needs an intelligent, principled opposition. I disagreed with Senator McCarthy's politics, but he was a gentleman and he served his country in war and in peace.

Ah, NO! Good Riddance is quite on target.

You, calling me an imbecile is amusing to no end.

With very few exceptions -and McCarthy isn't one of them- there has been scant intelligent and principled opposition from the donk side of the aisle for several decades. More like obstruction and treason.

Sen. Kerry served his country in peace and war as well... PUKE!

Go pound salt Pinhead Pappy! Doofus!

#9 I disagreed with McCarthy then and now, but Pappy's right: he was one of the few principled, gentlemanly antiwar candidates during a nasty time.

#10 Count me in, too... Clean Gene was a example we can only wish in our most sedated dreams that Dean... and Kerry and all the rest could emulate and live up to.
Ahhhh, crap, I'm only 50... waaayyy to young to be an old fart and looking back to how wonderful things were back then!!! Any other Rantburgundians also having this feeling?

Sorry...not! I do not make any distinction between Gentlemanly Leftists, and Ungentlemanly Leftists.

Both are vile, one just takes longer to reveal themself, and more easily dupes the less discerning amongst the sheep.
