[Rhodes22-list] Politics - more republican hypocrisy

[Brad Haslett]

Pete,

Are these your original thoughts?  If you've been following my posts,
you must know that there is a mega-size public relations firm in LA,
CA producing "homemade" videos.  Perhaps they have some influence in
Hollywood, or not, or maybe it is just a lone individual exercising
his/her First Amendment Rights. Either way, your argument does sound a
bit like the echo chamber from a couple of weeks ago and your logic is
weak.

I give you a C- only because I have faith that you have the ability to
do better - you just don't have a good grasp of your subject.

Brad
