If distancing myself from people is the equal of dissagreeing with them, then I guess I am. But as for Dems and GOP not getting along... have they been able to? Is there any evidence that they will or even want to get along? The truth is that the leadership of each party disagree fundamentally on just about EVERY SINGLE ISSUE. Name it: Taxes, abortion rights, foreiogn policy, economics, social issues... they don't agree on anything. Its bnot just a forced message, its pretty damn accurate.

As for Rudy being asked specifically about it, I obviously missed that. But my criticism of his 9/11 speech isn't that I think it makes him a single issue cantidate. My criticism comes in that he's giving the same speech for rediculous sums of money over and over - and frankly feels like he's capitalizing off of the death of three thousand people to get himself on the ballot. As for how sick I think that is - is Ron Paul going to high class dinners publically spouting racist rhetoric? No (even if he'd like to). If he was, that'd certainly be worse in my opinion. As to the lesser wrong of accepting campaign donations from such organizations, I do think Rudy is equally in the wrong of exploiting a tragedy for personal gain.

Now I see what you're saying, and I understand how you could feel that way.
