63. You and I are most definitely on the same page.

I see a very new poster with some sassy comments and I immediately think someone is here to try to stir up trouble. If I'm wrong, then I apologize, but that was my first instinct.

I mean this when I say this - I so very much look forward to a future when no candidate has to be differentiated by race or gender, but is ONLY discussed based on their ideas and principles. But that future is only going to be a possibility EVER if we have Democrats in power and for right now, at least, we have got to play the Republican's game (unfortunately, especially in Texas) with strategy and intelligence.
