I could argue who got personal first, but that wouldn't really matter. Actually, our responses were quite tame and for the most part, civil.

While you can disagree with the content of his letter, I am incredulous as to why anyone would have a problem with his "accumulation of wealth." When I hear people complaining about the amount of money someone has or earns, it comes across to me as pure envy. And to attach another personal label (regardless of political affiliation) because of it, is absurd.

well, I'm off to work the polls, so any further response from this end will have to wait until evening.
