And get rained on over there, without wearing hats. Owing to expecting central government to issue them, I imagine. Two hundred thousand not-very-bright is only mass dumbth, rich. Take no comfort in numbers, if you have regard for quality.
It may be that Mr. Specter will join Joe Lieberman and enlarge one of the two categories of Democrats that are worth a damn to the Republic: hitherto, one of the two kinds was those registered Democrats in uniform, involved in fixing a horrible and festering situation that pupped out a lot of terrorist attacks, and the other one was Joe Lieberman. The rest of the national Democratic leadership had nothing for me. The pressures of actually having majority responsiblity now to prosecute the war and act in aid of the Republic may change that, but I think the chance is pretty remote, given their antics of the first hundred days.
The Democratic Party might get its soul back once it turns its back on its socialist element. This nanny-statism of theirs just disgusts the free, adult human beings. If they are disgusting you, do speak up.

As for acting juvenile, there's a reason for that. Your arguments fail so totally at a rational adult level that I must seek a more childlike state to even have a chance of being suckered....er....appreciating them.

You cannot show that my arguments fail -- only that through your own prejudices and most base biases, that they fail to reach
your soul -- and that suggests to me that you may lack one. You've never made the least attempt to prove I'm thinking irrationally, either. For you, it suffices merely to allege it. What an act of self-hypnosis and illiberal closedmindedness.
I've never seen anything impressive from you, rich, really. Had you real confidence in the ideas that you imply you value (whatever those may be -- again, they've not made an impression), why, you'd make the effort to pass them through an abodominal wall to reach, old fellow, where you'd like to believe my head is. Frankly, I think you're mired in off-kilter beliefs. You tend, you see, to tell me so.
I, after all, believe my ideas are good enough to drive right through even the thickest abdominal wall, and can encourage the fortunate to pull their metaphorical head out.

So, in a way, this is all for your benefit. Enjoy.

That sort of thing is fun when you're little, but at over fifty, such things are no longer for me.
Third time's the charm, for the childish displays you have such an established habit of. When you lock horns with me, you end up looking like an ass.
