Al,
While I appreciate your principled stand for openness, I fail to see how a meeting of diverse party leaders represents a secret cabal. No centrist or conservative who IM'ed me was denied entrance. It was important that our meeting not be interrupted by those who wish us harm.
Hugh,
I am sure that you realize that how you as an individual vote will not nullify our freedom of association. There are many right-wingers who have greater differences with KEmperor than you do who have joined our effort without asking for anything in return. There are members to the left of you who have joined our effort without asking for anything in return. Our goals are not about this mere Presidential election, but they are about the ideological and partisan health of this forum for months to come.
Who wishes you harm?
