Right now, the people who, from 2008-2012, insisted Presidents, especially brown ones with funny names, have no effect on the economy are citing one positive quarter (forget the brief free fall from the Muslim Ban only stopped when the order stopped) is completely due to Der Furher's business genius. <br /><br />And I am citing the words of educated working professionals, not "tell it like it is" heatlanders. <br /><br />Instead, in two years they will be busy primarying any RHINO that even hesitated to support the Republican agenda and voting to Defend the Fatherland against the Enemy Within (ie. all those violent, paid protestors and the judges who let terrorist in our country.) <br /><br /><br />trgahanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04718897286384990852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-19301224974384005822017-02-20T12:47:42.355-06:002017-02-20T12:47:42.355-06:00I've heard some people argue that, cowardly an...I've heard some people argue that, cowardly and mealy-mouthed as it might be, it's a good thing that DFB and his ilk are talking like this now and we should encourage. I disagree for two reasons. One, as you've pointed out, DFB's "resistance" entails sitting around and waiting for the problem to fix itself, and that's not at all helpful.<br /><br />But more importantly is the nature of the messenger. Sensible Centrists are windvanes, they point in the direction the wind was blowing anyway. We know that Brooks is opposed to boldness in action or in thought - he's said as much on numerous occasions. Therefore, the fact that cowards like Brooks and Dowd are now Speaking Truth To Power has more to do with the fact that their paymasters are troubled by what's going on. Same reason they pulled their "Who, me?" shtick starting in 2007 when anyone mentioned Iraq - once the elites who read Brooks <i>et al</i> lost confidence in Dubya to administer the war, the Sensible Centrists.<br /><br />In sum, I give not a milliliter of credence to political cowards like Brooks even when they mouth the right words. A mercenary who turns up at the battlefield when you have advantage in numbers and then bolts the second the odds even out isn't worth anything.Andrew Johnstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05780648896926049012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-1688218577495721532017-02-20T12:18:02.213-06:002017-02-20T12:18:02.213-06:00"investing seven billion and bringing 3,000 j..."investing seven billion and bringing 3,000 jobs to Arizona"<br />That's two comma three three three comma three three three dot three three per job, if I entered the numbers correctly.Murfynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14905660546374967690noreply@blogger.com
