Recently I was criticized for being open about my support for Julian Hatch for U.S. Senate because I was “wasting my time”. Then I was criticized for saying nice things about Pete Ashdown in the recent blogswarm with insinuations that because I said nice things about him I was defacto a supporter of the democratic party, when in fact I was being “gracious”, as a friend, also a green, recently told me about my remarks. The last I checked, our constitution still gives me the right to say nice things about people regardless of what political party they align themselves with, although our constitutional rights are coming more and more into question, no thanks to the Republicans and the sellout Democratic Party (see my disclaimers in the lower left side bar).
