   Mugsy, don’t you dare stop writing (you “last” post?) and don’t waste your time on defense (may your minor error corrections and move on). Bringing your integrity into question is just the usual attempt to silence dissenting voices (it’s a strategy). Your voice is necessary and your integrity is intact. If somebody has questions about integrity and accaracy in blogging, there is an endless supply of “conservative” blogs they could be looking at, not to mention a national television “news” operation (ahem: Fox).You keep on keepin’ on and don’t let the scum rile you.

   Correction: that was to read “your last post” and “make your minor error corrections”

   Maybe Americans are too close to the forest to see the trees.  Oft reading the British and Australian newspapers online, it seems that those looking at our nation from a distance “get it”….that Republicans from the very day of Obama’s Inauguration have linked like in a Rubgy scrum to defeat every initiative of the Obama administration.  The Republicans are not even shy about THE PLAN, instead bragging about making Obama a “one term president” as being their highest priority.  The PLAN is NOT about JOBS, to alleviate the economic suffering of millions of Americans.  Why worry when you as a Republican have a job, are earning a 6 figure (or greater) salary, earning sometimes millions in Obama’s recovering Wall Street markets.  Most Republican politicians care less about the travails of average American.  http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/jun/09/did-republicans-deliberately-crash-us-economy

   Interesting article in the Rolling Stone as why Democrats lose elections:http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/blogs/national-affairs/how-republicans-cheat-democrats-and-democrats-cheat-themselves-20120612#ixzz1xlV6sXvzAs
   an activist Young Republican in my college YAF in the early 60’s, I
   attended the Republican National Convention in Chicago and as a
   Goldwater activist had credentials to work the floor of the Stockyards International Amphitheater to hand out signs, button, brochures to delegates.  Since leaving the
   Party of Lincoln due to Nixon’s
   racist Southern Strategy, I have been quite frustrated as a Democrat
   ever since voting for my first Democratic candidate, Sen. George
   McGovern.  Since 1972, I have voted for such Milquetoast “barnstormers”
   as Jimmy Carter, Walter Mondale, Michael Dukakis, Al Gore/Lieberman, and
   John Kerry who all feared fighting fire-with-fire thinking they could
   “play nice” with Republicans.  However most in the GOP will “circle the
   wagons” and end up FIGHTING the opposition (look how Romney “haters”
   have flip-flopped, like Pawlenty, Perry, Gingrich, Bachmann, Cain,
   Santorum, ALL now coming on board the Romney bus, some pretending great
   enthusiasm for the Mittser).  The average DULL American voter will go
   along with the oft mendacious claims of the right, I fear.  Meanwhile, in typical fashion, Democrats are forming circular firing squads and fighting each other. 
   It’s almost like some are wishing for a President Romney who will feed their masochism even moreso than President Obama.  Click on purple links, especially for masochism, one description being:”Chooses people and situations that lead to disappointment, failure, or
   mistreatment even when better options are clearly available.”
