Well, with my opinion of various political figures, I'd probably be the first off the list. :) Ok, ground rule. It is totally acceptable to call into account the words or actions of a public figure. If Bush misspells potato, we can jump all over him (verbally, I don't want another call from the secret service). On the other hand, the people on this list are your friends and family. You might be upset with what someone says, but that does not mean you shouldn't be civil. I disagree with Mo but to this day he's still on the list. The only time I'll dump someone is if they've gone 'over the line'. I'm not going to define what the line is but I think we'll all know it when we see it.
