With the most profound regret, I DO get it. Don’t trash my disgust. I’ve earned it.
His withdrawal looks imminent, and in one respect, I’m not sorry (I’d have preferred Sarah’s pick). It’s the reasoning and the politics and the hypocrisy involved in this withdrawal that I rail against. It’s just one more pseudo-”political reality” (like talking Social Security in an election year) that needs correction SOME DAY. Maybe now’s not the time.
My apologies for the harsh words. You do get it, and they were uncalled for.
However, this is how politics works, and I imagine it always has, no matter how far back you want to go, or how far forward.
We are battling the evil side, in these cases the truth is irrelevant.
Thankfully, in the Mediscare issue, we have time to make our case.
