13. I looked into Assuage

For a while there. (Of course I spent hours looking into Sarah Palin as well before passing judgement)

The short version is that Assauge has no principles. I understand others feel differently, but guilty of rape or not he is NOT some principled freedom fighter. He is an opportunist who's sloppy release of documents put his sources in danger

Not facing trial for rape accusations, labeling as a 'witch hunt' is just evil and chicken shit.

I'm sorry you went through that, its par for so many on the left. As long as women's issues are convenient, they rally, once they are not-- right under the bus. Not all the left of course, but far too much of it.
