Yes. I know what you mean. Things hit a new low and I don’t think they can go much lower and yet...they always do. It is depressing. Even Rush said that he’s always expected the pendulum swing the opposite direction at some point and yet it never does. And he’s claimed to be the most optimistic person alive (about the future of the country). But I haven’t heard that for a long time, have you? Maybe realism has hit us square between the eyes. God only knows how badly I hope I’m wrong. There are untold millions like me out there waiting for someone to step forward to mobilize us but chirp...chirp....chirp....chirp. It doesn’t happen. Surely not from the pubbies. Maybe Ted Cruz? He comes the closest that I’ve seen.
We've never been on a "pendulum" (how depressing). No, we're on the Fabian ratchet and we're heading to perdition (much worse).
