"But I do not rule out her running for President in 2008. I do not say that as facetiousness; I say that in all seriousness."
Katherine Harris? It is to laugh.
The personal insult is neither necessary, nor appropriate. I'm sorry, but if we can't have a primary campaign among Republican candidates without personally insulting anyone who differs in opinion with you, then the GOP is in major trouble.
The English language is a rich one, capable of the expression of almost any thought, emotion, or nuance of feeling. The description you used to describe another freeper is simply crude.
Argue ideas, not personalities, please.
While Ms. Harris is a public figure, the poster to whom you refer is not. Personal insults against other FReepers are not de rigeur here.
"If Katherin Harris loses in November, crow will be the most wholesome thing we will be eating for a long, long time."
That is true, which is why it is time to stop damning other GOP candidates in these primaries. We're damaging the entire GOP.
Save that stuff for the general election campaign. Attack Democrats, not other Republicans, please.
it is time to stop damning other GOP candidates in these primaries. We're damaging the entire GOP...Attack Democrats, not other Republicans, please...The politics of ugliness are not appealing, you see.Maligning Republicans is not a conservative value.
Don't argue against his opponent with lies, rumors, half-truths...
Let me see if I understand your hypocrisy correctly. You have found a higher moral authority to posting comments on FR than Floridians voting for candidates whom you do not support.
Yet it is appropriate for you to post important national issues, for example, about Harris: "Actually, she has a pair of thingies," and "I did hear, though, that those boobies are artificially enhanced."

Katherine Harris the Starbucks Queen. My one regret is I'm registered Independent and cannot vote for LeRoy Collins Jr

------------------------------- With the help of numerous readers, the Starbucks Web site and a Washington, D.C.-area barista, we've cracked the code of Rep. Katherine Harris' (R-FL) coffee order -- "Triple Venti, no fat, no foam, extra hot, with pink sugar." Triple Venti : Likely a latte with three shots of espresso in it. A Starbucks "venti" latte and its smaller cousin, the "grande" latte, both have two shots of espresso; thus a "triple" would add another shot. No Fat: Skim milk. Should properly be ordered as "non-fat," according to Starbucks. Reporter may have mis-heard. No Foam: Just what it means. (I should note that some traditionalists believe (rightly, I posit) that a latte should have no foam at all, making this qualifier redundant. Starbucks baristas, however, are ordered to include a "quarter-inch" of foam on their latte creations "to create a delicate first impression," according to the company Web site.) Extra Hot: I'm not sure Starbucks really has an extra-hot coffee; I believe their machines -- and corporate lawyers -- regulate their temperatures precisely and absolutely. My guess is, baristas hear this and go "uh-huh," because it's easier than fighting with a customer. Especially if, well, the customer terrifies you. with Pink Sugar: "A fancy way to say Sweet and Low," as one reader commented. You can say a lot of things, pardner. But you can't say that's a quitter's drink. That's an in-it-to-win-it special. Late Update: Starbucks does indeed make "extra-hot" lattes for those who request one, according to a company spokesman. "[T]hey will receive a beverage at approximately 180 degrees. Starbucks milk-based beverages are normally prepared at temperatures between 150-170 degrees," Alan Hilowitz told me in an email. Reader HD, a barista, chimes in: "We call drinks like hers 'princess drinks' at my store."
Katherine Harris' Starbucks Order, Decoded!

I have it on good authority that no manager has ever expected their secretary to bring them coffee in the history of the world. Otherwise, the newspapers would be full of boss-wants-coffee stories...and we all know this is not the case.
Ain't that the truth!

As for "Argue ideas, not personalities, please", I do. But when someone insults me, directly or indirectly, or verbally assaults someone I care for or admire, they have made the first move whether they care to admit it or not.
Good day to you, sir.
If one's eyes are honest and open, that is.
