[Peace-discuss] House Votes Today on Afghan, Pakistan Wars

[E.Wayne Johnson]

Mort,
Even I felt that you were supportive of the Obot and even quite defensive of
him at oft times.  But even so, that wouldn't be the end of the world and 
worse mistakes
have been made.

Gill has indeed been evasive in his opinions about the war and it seems that 
just recently
he has become more anti-war.  It is yet to see how he would hold up under 
pressure.

Again, an exceedingly narrow mindset is here displayed.

What words are said by a candidate will not necessarily carry over to when 
he or she  is in a Congress and feels the kinds of pressures that can be 
exerted. That is why I used the word "unanswerable", even in the case of 
Gill who has spoken reasonably and intelligently in my view on most of the 
crucial issues of the day and yesterday. Is all that not obvious?

You are grasping at straws.

And while I'm at it on a detail which hardly deserves a response, I might 
add that  more than once I informed you of voting for McKinney in the last 
election, something which you found convenient to deny… in order to make a 
spurious point.
