I never called anything you said a red herring.
It is obvious you are better at talking than reading.
There is no reason for you to respond, as I am too busy to read your trite gibberish.
It would seem that your mind is made up that the state of our economy is disconnected completely from the morally bankrupt ideology government imposes upon the people...
In essence, talking about the economy e.g. "it's the economy dummy" is all talk and no walk UNLESS one confronts the reason government spends and then decides which spending is legitimate versus illegitimate -the decision to spend or not spend, fund or not fund SHOULD be premised upon the law and the moral and inalienable principles our country was founded upon -NOT premised upon mob rules whether it be our mob or theirs.
True conservatives understand that a republican RINO collective is as much a danger to individual freedom as a democrat collective is. All these supposed non issues are the reason the economy is where it is today -the economy is but a symptom of an all to powerful government that imposing a bankrupt ideology upon the people.
My gibberish will continue REGARDLESS and RINOs comprehend it...
