Susan, there should be a degree of respect on this list for those who are Republicans. Reporting the position of candidates is just fine - however, disparaging a candidate or a party for that position is not. Objectivity is the key. Everyone on this list needs everyone else. Insulting behavior should not have role here. --------- God bless Mary Ann (CG Jamie 68/28 with PD, died 11/20/07) www.bentwillowfarm.org ----- Original Message ----- From: "Susan Kline" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Friday, September 19, 2008 7:31 AM Subject: Re: McCain opposes somatic cell nuclear transfer > Gerry, > > I respect you greatly and have for years.....my loved one has had PD for > over 26 years so I'm not contributing as an outsider.
