Or at least stop using them and definitely NEVER use them for government business.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I can't find your email in your profile, maybe I didn't look closely enough, so I'll ask this question separate from this thread: are you comfortable supporting McCain after he did a 180 on GLBT civil rights by speaking at Falwell's "university" after previously calling Falwell an "agent of intolerance"?<BR/><BR/>What scares me is not McCain's newly found position on gay marriage--I'm quite happy it's not being used to hijack this election as it has been used in the past--it's that he changed so many of his views to become an acceptable Republican candidate for president.<BR/><BR/>That kind of obvious pandering and flip-flopping scares me, because it means we don't know the real John McCain. We just know the one who really, REALLY wants to get elected.<BR/><BR/>Evident hypocrisy that's explained by ambition unnerves me. Who is this guy, really? Why was he so different only a couple of years ago? How far will he go to appeal to his base?<BR/><BR/>Anyway. I think my email can be found in my profile; if not, my gmail is dchunter, so email me if you care to respond personally. I'm curious.David Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05144852715595762961noreply@blogger.com
