"Dukakis, Dole or Kerry" or Obama

The first three had almost no charisma, and when not actually smiling, had very dour visages.

Obama has energy and charisma as well as the intelligence and moral authority of Dukakis and Kerry.

I was unpleasantly surprised by the response to my comment.

Thanks again.

but was ordered by you to go "Read some science won't you". (sic)

I don't know your profession, but unless you are a right-wing lobbyist, I don't believe I have have ever attacked it, here or anywhere else.

Nor did I question any of your conclusions about autism or anything else.

I merely reported what a well-educated mother told me about her own child.

he was showing off in Fahreinheit 9/11.

Compared to Grampy McBomb?

and that I needed a graduate degree to participate.

I mentioned the woman's credentials so the reader would understand she wasn't some ignorant slattern I overheard at a bus stop.

I have no idea why your reaction sounds so hostile, but in my humble, and not at all scientific, opinion you don't sound very dispassionate.

I hope you will forgive me for wasting your time and I will try to remember my place in the future.

I hate that expression - it makes me think of dog fighting.

Is there another context for it that I'm not considering?

thanks.

I have the volume down.

I just reported what the Board Certified Veterinary Ophthalmologist said to me about her experience with her own child - and her opinion about what the government says about it mercury and autism.

I was hardly in a position to argue with her about her observations about her own child.

If I am not supposed to participate in certain discussions at DU, I would like to know about it now.

And if I don't believe government numbers, you can thank BushCo for that.

But there's no reason to deride me - or the veterinary ophthalmologist because our goverment frequently uses statistics to protect its big business buddies.

The doggy ophthalmologist who examines my dogs' eyes for C.E.R.F. has an autistic daughter.

She was fine until she got four vaccinations in one day as a toddler.

She says this is the biggest cover-up in medicine in her experience.

I pray that you find a solution soon.

because he has some sure-fire "tells" when he lies.

He exhibited several of them while he was spinning that.

and complain about paying 35% of the taxes!

They think oil and nuclear are where the big bucks are.

That decentralized stuff is scary to them.
