In spite of that, I don't think any politicians should have been given any voice time. They have failed the American people utterly. mickey, I agree in part, but, I believe Blackburn has learned from her mistakes whereas some, such as Lamar Alexander will never learn.

I answered your question plus the definition of who is an extremist is that of the DHS Secretary, not mine, but if that's how the government wants to see it, I'll wear the name with pride. I'm sorry if that confuses you but that's your problem, not mine. Bruce, do you read what you write or do you just think nobody gets it because you’re being clever pretending to be stupid?

An extremist isn't necessarily of any political affiliation. I consider ACORN more extremist than any the the tea party protestors. I've also pointed out several times that the protest wasn't a Republican thing or even a conservative thing. There were all political affiliations, races, and cultures represented. Yet, you still come back with this vague stuff like you're so dumb. You keep playing dumb but you're a lot smarter than you try to pretend you aren't. I'd rather talk with you up straight than all this mishy mashy stuff you try to pass off as the best you can do. I know better because I've seen better from you.

BB, it was fun but there were moments when I cried as well. I never got in very close to where the speakers were, that's how crowded it was, but what went on in the fringes was awesome. rubyslippers, I wish I had more and believe me, next time, I'll have a better camera. I don't do much photography on the whole so I thought that cheap thing would be plenty good enough but, man, I was so disappointed!!! Thanks, GC. Not everybody could be there but I worked hard to make sure I had the free time. We all know you were with us in spirit.
