RE :"I saw that dialog. ...... (he made some good points) ?'

Great points in a vaccuum. It's always easy mentally to look at all issues as either all pros or all cons so life appears simple as black or white, until your white gets slaughtered in the election like 2006 and 2008 and ???. after which sometimes some people wake up and ask questions, the sign of a true subversive.

I do have concerns: That the GOP will stick with the Ryan plan but be unable to defend it, and will put Obama back in office, perhaps with leftist majorities in congress and new Wise Latinas in the SCOTUS eventually. On the other hand, surrender to Obamacare also leads to disaster.

(he made some good points)

I did not mean by that, that everything he said was correct. In fact, Some of his statements were immature, some of them just won't work politically, and most of it was presented as "black and white" as you described.

However, I thought he was correct that without entitlement reform, spending and borrowing continue out of control, and seniors (and everyone else) are going to suffer anyway. Although he certainly could have made a better argument, I think you would agree with that.
