"Officially," huh? Do you have any clue how you actually sound?
"Without Freedom of Thought there can be no such Thing as Wisdom; and no such Thing as Public Liberty, without Freedom of Speech." -- Benjamin Franklin
Listen, man. I’m not 100% sold on Gov. Palin’s electability...and, by the way, I VOTED for Alan Keys in the 1996 primary.
I would turn your own quote of Dr. Franklin onto Dr. Keys. Dr. Keys’ own ideas (stated, at least) about ideological purity are proven election LOSERS. His time, like Newt’s (who I’d also like to sit down and shut up), has PASSED.
If we can hold together a party of commonsense people who agree on, say, 85% of all the issues that are dear to each individual in the group as a whole, we will regain control of the government.
