Ransom writes, "I don’t think you can point to one instance where I said everyone in the Democratic Party was a free-cell-phone-using, no-tax-paying, freeloader." JR, when I said "everyone in the Democratic Party" it was a figure of speech, not a quote. Moreover, I wasn't even referring specifically to you. When I said "all you heard about here was ...", I was speaking of the many TH commenters. BTW, my friends and family are about equally divided between Dem and Rep. And I don't know a single Democrat who's a "free-cell-phone-using, no-tax-paying, freeloader". Every one I know is a hard-working (possibly now-retired) professional who's paid for every cell phone minute they ever used. The slugs no doubt exist, but "vast majority"?
