Philip,
 
I don't believe you know Bill well enough to make the assumptions you have  
made. Although Bill is certainly capable of standing up for himself, I find 
your  method of attacking someone without knowing a damn thing about him quite 
unfair. 
I dislike it when people who are so quick to place a label (Liberal or  
Conservative, patriot or traitor) on someone else when it's highly possible they  
have a brain and can think for themselves instead of following the party  line.
