[Healeys] Comment for what it is worth

[Bob Spidell]

Bill,

Your point is valid, IMO (though a bit hair-splitting).

And the counterattack on Jim was right out of the Karl Rove/RNC/Swift 
Boat handbook.  I hope I live long enough to witness the demise of both 
(DNC/RNC dirty tricks books).

I kinda started this thread, so I'll try to put it to bed.  With only a 
couple exceptions, the comments have been heartfelt and considered (and 
yes, emotional).  And the tone has been mostly intelligent and 
respectful, something you don't see a lot in our daily political 
discourse.  I think we've all agreed to disagree, and concentrate on our 
common interest: Healeys.

History has judged FDR, Truman, Eisenhower and Kennedy; someday, the 
Clintons and Bushes will get their turns.

Boy, can't wait until NEXT Friday ;)
