Kahuna, you are uncharacteristically harsh on those that responded directly to
your words in
your post. Any subsequent "morphing" appears to be in response to your statements and not a desire to review the 2008 Presidential campaign. You stated:

I still believe that on balance the country and economy would be in worse shape had John McCain been elected.

Personally, I acknowledged respect for your position and offered the basis for my opposing opinions for contrast. No where did I interject a judgemental tone because my core belief system, (
established by my often repeated reference about being raised by a mother, a Boston Democrat who worked on JFK's campaign and a father who was a solid Goldwater Republican), is respect for political persuasions other than my own.
Further, my prolific accumulation of posts offer no shortage of discussion viewpoints about the direction the country should be taking from my perspective. Until there is a quantum change in the White House, Justice Department and Congress, as indicated in my post, I believe "national security trumps progressive social justice and
share the wealth and health economics". I understand that our economy is in dire need of attention. My point is that exposure of the American people and our financial and economic institutions to the threats of enemies of this country is real. I believe the totality of our present circumstance has made us less safe. I submit that rebuilding the economy requires at least a concurrent commitment to national security that will provide increased safety for our people and institutions.
I hope you continue to post because you offer informative and interesting perspectives. Of course, occasionally disagreeing with them is aways an option....and the basis of what makes this forum challenging and a venue for cerebral exercise.
Have a good evening.
