The country has paid ever since for the failure to do so.<<

Yup. Personally I think it was his single dumbest move.

But now that I said that, I include the caveat that it the opinion is based only on the knowledge I have at hand. I do not know what he knows that I do not.

I live in the Dallas suburbs and I can tell you that the City of Dallas has lost it's way. Last I heard, I don't think violent crime is too bad but crime in general is one of the worst in the nation. Most conservatives have fled to the outlying areas where you can still go for a walk after dark. The mayor is a joke. I never go downtown unless it's to a Stars or Mavericks game. It's a shame. I still love being in Texas but I'm no longer proud of the city in which I was raised.
