Far too many people react to WHO is saying something, not WHAT they are saying. I am as guilty of this at times as anyone else. I always have to remind myself to listen to what is being said and not to jump to conclusions because of who is speaking.

DT, I wasn't posting this because I neccesarily agree with her sentiments about Bush. I was posting it because even one of their liberals was recognizing that a lot of people, including (especially) elected representatives, are following the kneejerk reaction that we have seen all too often here and elsewhere, that if Bush proposed it, it must be wrong, and therefore it must be opposed and blocked at any cost.
