Reader comment on:
Dinner With Jim Webb
in response to reader comment: This is conservatism?

Submitted by Daniel Johnston, Dec 1, 2006 13:02

All conservatives want to do is to smear people and promote true hatred of any opposing party. It's one thing to disagree with ideas, but this is merely a hate filled partisan rant. This is bad for America, try acting with some good will.
