First off, let me start by saying THANK YOU. You are the second candidate to post here (that I can remember), and actually stick around to have a dialogue with the 'community' as it is.

We need more like you. We won't all agree on everything, as the so-called 'big tent' party, it would be impossible. However, I'll take someone who I disagree with on a few issuse, but who will talk to me about them all the same any day over someone who just spits out a few well crafted lines and doesn't stick around to back them up.

I do apologize for some of the assholishness I'm sure you've seen, but damn if you didn't stick around through it and tackle their issues head on. I'm impressed. Very impressed.
