I couldn't agree more with you, Caron, if you can't endorse the most basic values of the party then leave.<br /><br />Plus, I always feel thoroughly aggrieved defending the free speech of people who use it to advocate depriving others (ie female voters) of exactly that commodity.<br /><br />Consigning him to obscurity is long, long overdue.LJHnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34128264.post-33097913293387265872009-07-11T16:34:12.397+01:002009-07-11T16:34:12.397+01:00Here here.
