mr. barton: and i was extremely gracious. mr. doyle: i don't think that part will change. mr. barton: we are intense on the field. i haven't played the game in a long time but when i did, i was the pitcher and i brushed back and they brushed me back but he couldn't throw me hard enough. i couldn't get it to home plate. but, as mike pointed out, hopefully, you can be intensely political without being personal and a lot of the traditions of the house are designed to diffuse personal animosity. the gentleman from pennsylvania, my good friend from texas, so the rules are designed to kind diffuse that and mike and i serve on the energy and commerce committee and so we have a bond beyond just manage i.r.s. of the baseball teams. but it is something that we probably need to meelt at the leadership level and regular member level and try to address because what happened this unconscionable except it was there. you could see the shooter ducking out and shooting out primarily, the time i saw, the policeman and he was doing it simply because he didn't like the political climate. and chose

mr. barton yesterday talked about the impact on his son so if you miss that news conference you can go to-span.org and find it. indiana,arsaw, republican caller. what should be done about political discourse? caller: i definitely believe that we need to come on the republican side and the democrat side, need to tone down the rhetoric. our fellow american citizens are not the enemy. now, itquite a while has been portrayed that way. i do believe it has gotten more worse and worse. several years ago when gabby giffords was shot, i called my representative at that time and said, we need to take this back. we need to calm this down because what happened to her was tragic, that there are also innocent people that lost their lives at that time. and the. test, if youity are republican, if you are republican enough, if you are democrat, if you are democrat enough, that is a problem. in america, we have a right to our opinion and the right to feel the way we do and express that, but the personal attacks on both sides of the aisle, from both parties, are horrible. yes, we have our political beliefs.
