Dear Carter,

When different sides of an issue say that you are against them and they want you “back”, you are doing alright. This is the number one rule of being in the news business. If you were always on one side of an issue, that would be not be newsy. That would be punditry. You do mix it up, do the dismay of everyone. But that’s what news is all about.

I bet you already knew that.

The mere idea that people think you are jumping into the progressive movement seriously makes me smile and run for the bottle of Advil. Although I do not agree with you about your views on homosexuality and immigration and a plethora of other things, I do believe you have a real good nose for seeing into the dangers and amusements of political rhetoric which is where I think you shine. And this is why I keep coming back to Volunteer Voters.

And, I find, we talk about you, us liberals. We either want to throttle you or find ourselves tongue-tied that you made a really good point. You keep me, at least, on my toes.

If you have everyone talking, then you are doing what your supposed to be doing. Also, there may be a time in the near future that I read something you pen and shut my eyes real tight, wishing I could come to WKRN and scream “What the hell” but as I’m not geniunely a violent person, you are safe. Because, Carter, that’s what I believe you are supposed to do. You are supposed to create a dialogue and I think you do.

I like that you aren’t really on anyone’s side. That, Carter, is cool, And you’ve proven time and time again that you can dish out it out but you can take it as well.

Respectfully from the Liberal base of one in Hooterville,
