Butch, if that is because I tried to move the discussion to the WP, I am sorry. I very much appreciate your posting your feelings anywhere here. It has just been my experience the last 3-4 years that when I or others post liberal things (and I know it is not one-sided) we get a lot of contentious posts in reply and many include personal insults (as I see again today). So I just thought I'd see if we, the fans, wanted to continue arguing elsewhere so the gb could be a spot I would go to for daily updates from friends of all political persuasions.
I have noticed that my personal friends who support Bush do not attack me personally, and I did not want wedges forming in the music family.
But, I have my opinions and will share them everywhere. I also believe in a concept called "the public truth" wherein if you allow someone to say a falsehood in public without challenge it has more weight the next time around.
So since the sparks are flying now, I want all to know I respect your different opinions, even if I dont understand, and dont find the need for personal attacks. Just an old hippie, I guess.
My many previous political comments and posts are mainly in the WP.
