right on the edge...

[Jason Hayes]

Craig,

For crying out loud. Drop it already!

We all get it. You like Obama. You don't like conservatives. You don't like 
Mike. You don't like Keith. You don't like Christ. Everyone but you (and those 
with whom you agree) is "extreme" and "irrelevant."

You've already "moderated" those points to death. We understand! We get it! 
Now let it go!

If you want to continue the discussion with Keith and Mike or someone else off 
the list, feel free to do so.

Jason
