Pills, pills, pills... :-)

Strother opines: "Which is precisely why Steve is right in suggesting that the Republican party of your dreams isn't the party you support. Do your dreams change with the party? If so, that's your right. Like families, political parties do change as their members change and the older generation dies off. You admit that 'you've got enough RINOs in both houses,' and I'm sure that annoyance exists because they're growing, not shrinking, in number."

I'm a conservative first, Republican second... Since Steve left office in '00, I haven't really been involved in party politics.

"I know that you're joking, Andy, but can you see the paradox in the fact that Republicans have also ribbed me while mentioning an American flag flying upside down? I guess that the team doesn't like to be questioned, regardless of what direction it comes from."

I did say that in jest... I like to be questioned because it keeps my mind sharp.
