Can't help but believe that I'm the source of H's frustration and level of fatigue. I realize I can be ... assertive in making a point, especially when the point is validated by the lack of responding.
Here's another sports analogy. If the dodgers and Giants are playing a series, and everytime they do one person just trashes the Dodgers, and says not a word about the Giants, it's a safe assumption they're a Giants fan. It may not be true, but its a safe assumption, until clarity is provided later on. If one is but a neutral bystander, one would expect to see some criticisms of both the Giants and the Dodgers. But when trashing the Dodgers, while going out of their way to defend all actions of the Giants.......well, to then claim how they're being erroneously portrayed as a Giants' fan is just so........you get my drift
Perhaps H just really hates Republicans that much, which is perfectly valid feeling to have. I'm pretty fed up with Republicans as well, cowtowing to the notion that it's ok to grow Government, just not as fast as perhaps Liberal Democrats would want. Bush II was a perfect example of this. If not for the tax cuts he got thru, that saved us from a massive economic collapse, and his leadership with the war on Islamic terrorists following 911, he really was not a good president, in so many ways. Far too much placating increased domestic spending, increasing the size and scope of Government, allowing Freddie & Fannie to get completely out of control when then did lead to the housing crash (though that was more a Congressional catastrophe vs Executive)
It's a disappointment fo see H leave, after providing some substantive fodder. Perhaps he found it increasingly too difficult to defend positions that were increasing indefensible...the Bushco lying us into war, the "non-political" move of the Seal Team 6 documentary, etc. It's easy to use folks like myself as making it just too much a strain to back up their positions. Nor does it help when Bt enables it, by focusing on terms like Bush vs Bushco or Partsian.
If you 2 find I'm too big a distraction for the saloon, just give me a heads-up, and I'll bow out without regret. Just don't belittle my contributions as being some form of "demands" or other irrelvent tangents. I've tried very hard to be fair, objective, and you'll note, rarely dropping to the level of just calling other people 3rd grade names.
Ball's in your court
