Sorry -- last clarification. <br><br>I didn't call ALL Republicans -- whom I disagree with -- "idiots." In fact, I explicitly said that I don't think all Republicans are idiots and mentioned a few by name that I didn't think were idiots.<br>
<br>I asked why Republicans VOTE for idiots. The idiots are folks like Bush, Palin, and Gingrich. I called Gingrich an "idiot" because of his bigoted comments -- comments which you conveniently didn't include in this criticism -- not because he was a Republican. I asked a question: Why do so many Republicans vote for idiots -- folks who are either dumb as posts or obvious and clear bigots?<br>
<br>I'm asking you, too, Roger. Why did you openly support Gresham Bouma in the last election, someone who is openly antagonistic toward Mormons? Why support Young, someone who was openly antagonistic toward folks on the left? Do you think it is OK to call Mormons "blasphemous"? Do you think that that kind of behavior is indicative of what our founding fathers meant by the right to the free exercise of religion? Do you think leaders should only cater to members of your own political party? That they can ignore the folks that they don't vote for them?<br>
<br>But the fact is that you won't answer these questions. What you'll do is call me a "communist" and try to divert attention from the growing racism of your political party. And what I'll continue to do is point out the racism, even if it means putting up with your mean-spirited name calling.<br>

It is amazing to me that some people on the left like joe, call everyone they disagree with idiots. I think it was Stalin that called the American left useful idiots. A friend of my aunt's on finding out I was a friend of Steve Symms said, "He can't be very bright can he". Some on the right think the same way. I do not know why people cannot disagree on the issues with out disparaging one another's intelligence.<br>
