64. Where do we draw the line? Who else do you want to exclude from the
Edited on Sun Oct-23-05 09:24 PM by NYCGirl
party? How elitist should we be?

Maybe we should exclude women who make porn. Or maybe people who are in porn. What about people who are atheists? Maybe people who have had extramarital affairs? What about people who don't go to church regularly?

Who do you want judging people?

Edited to add: Mrs. Clinton has the right to do whatever she wants, of course. But I think her move is wrong and just another empty act of political expediency from her. At this point, I have more respect from self-described smut peddler Larry Flynt than I have for Hillary.
