52. However, I uphold the right to dissent and comment
as part of free speech, even if the stance is unpopular. And you KNOW I'm not down with what folks did to Gore or Kerry. A valid criticism, truthfully statesd and accurate or perhaps even a gut reaction clearly labeled as such should have a place here. Even if some of us know the person and have spoken to them, that shouldn't preclude a person having an opinion on the proceedings.

Substitute Dubya for Cindy in Will's post. Does it still make sense. Who here has been a governor. Who here has been a president. Who here has had to deal with a hurricane. Who here has done anything that a president does every day.

So I suppose then that we shouldn't criticize Dubya? How quiet would this place get if that was the standard we held EVERYTHING to.
