re: #208 Obdicut

No problem— but I hope you see that such comments are the vast exception, and not at all common.

I have no idea what it’ll take for rational conservatives to get back in control of the GOP. But I really hope it happens.

Yes, they are the exception, but they really get under my skin when I see ‘em, great aggravation despite the low volume. Can’t help it, ‘specially when I try very hard not to let my emotional reasoning take over my rational reasoning.

I don’t know either, but I hope we’ll begin to see a big change very soon; unfortunately, tragically, it took this shooting to open some eyes. And I’m not talking about the media and pundits. I’m talking about regular folks like me. It doesn’t help me explain the point to them about the rhetoric sending the guy over the edge, when what they see is stuff like, well, the comment you responded to that I take great issue with. Most folks are like me, in the middle. The absolutes proclaimed by some about “conservatives are murdering idiots” - well, it doesn’t help when I’m trying to make a convincing argument that yes, we need to be heard and we need to demand a more civil tone.
