Yah. I was hoping to find out who first started hurling at someone as a 
insult between democrats and republicans. I'm assuming that, since a 
republican dittohead was the one who identified himself AS a kool-aid 
drinking following of Bush, that's he is proud of the source so embraced 
it. Cause, hey, th'ain't nothing wrong with being a kool-aid drinking 
follower of the RIGHT, GOOD, TRUE, and BEAUTIFUL. I mean, what LIBERAL 
thinks it's ok to be a liberal? they're also stumbling all over themselves 
to apologize for it and not look like a liberal. but republicans don't seem 
to feel embarrassment about being labeled a republican, right?
