        never thought of them as such and I grew up then as well, just thought of them as modern rock. -- nm - Stacy Aug 13, 22:39 5

        basically just more on how he's become one of the conservatives who actually seems to get it. -- nm - Reagen Aug 13, 22:10 4
        
        I dunno. I do read some of his conservative critics and there are valid points made there as well. - Name Withheld By Request Aug 13, 22:14 3
        
        2010 and 2012 will tell the story, of course. - Reagen Aug 13, 22:18 2
        
        And mark me down as a status quo 2010 (to Dem disappointment) and a surprisingly frisky 2012 (though behind which candidate, I'm not sure yet). -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 13, 22:24

    - i guess you're right. i mean i never called anyone my girlfriend until i went on real dates for for at least six weeks. - zork Aug 13, 22:08
