I probably will.
Hell, I even held my nose and voted for Kerry ferchrissakes. Not that my vote will matter. Recall I live in Indiana. Last non-repo to carry this godforesaken abyss they call the Hoosier state was ... Lyndon Johnson.

It would seem, therefore, that the three human impulses embodied in religion are fear, conceit, and hatred. The purpose of religion, one might say, is to give an air of respectibility to these passions. -- Bertrand Russell

Lyndon may have some company soon.
[link|http://www.fortwayne.com/mld/newssentinel/15495120.htm|Ft. Wayne Sentinel]: INDIANAPOLIS - Nearly half of Indiana residents do not believe the war in Iraq was worth the cost, according to a new statewide poll.
The poll results released Monday by Indianapolis television station WISH found that 49 percent of Hoosiers did not support the Iraq war, while 41 percent supported it and 10 percent were undecided.
[...]
Statewide, the poll found a wide gap in views about the war based on gender and political affiliation:
_ A majority, 51 percent, of women opposed the war, with 36 percent supporting. Among men, 47 percent opposed the war, with 46 percent against it.
_ Those who said they were Republicans supported the war by a 65 percent to 27 percent margin. Among Democrats, 76 percent were against the war, with 13 percent supporting. Those who said they were independents or of other political parties opposed the war 53 percent to 35 percent.
[...] Cheers, Scott.

"So don't pay attention to the approval ratings that say 68% of Americans disapprove of the job this man is doing. I ask you this, does that not also logically mean that 68% approve of the job he's not doing? Think about it. I haven't."

That really should be an LRPD
Admin's rule against political LRPDs notwithstanding.

"Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow

Who says it's political?
The quote doesn't say which war....

Aren't ALL wars "political"?
