I assume the post previous was also yours and I thank you for both of them.

There is no defense of what on the surface is indefensible.

ON a personal note, I am 75...voted for JFK in 1960. I say that to explain I have seen many presidential elections and a number of Presidents, etc.

Anyone who knows who I am knows that I posted on the old political forum with great zest about the election, and were I in the house or senate, I may have been involved in the meeting, as I never recall an election that simply grabbed me with fear !!!!

NONETHELESS....no excuse for this from men in those positions...NONE.

Thanks for the links.
