No problem, you’re off the hook for drinks.

I was merely pointing out how insinuation works. Some of what I said may be true — some may not be true — doesn’t actually matter, does it? The truth is relative (to what you can sell.) That was my point.

Being easily offended and standing up/fighting back are not the same. We have failed to understand that difference, to our detriment, over most of the years of my political involvement.

Dems say <something>

Opponents say <why are you being so defensive?>

Dems say <we’re not … you take that back> .. and forget to argue the valid points we started out with.

I said, long ago, I was hoping Obama was different — that he’d take on hard issues, like racism, and use his position of leadership to lead. Sadly, I’m expecting less of that now, but, of the three, he’s the only possible game in town.

We have some hard stuff coming along and we need many someones to tell us hard truths. I have NO reason to believe McSame will do that and even less reason to believe HD will. So, GO OBAMA!
