IMHO, it appears to be given that a pragmatic, centrist on this message board cannot [and will not] have any chance to keep pace with the vitriol against this one … I will simply leave you denizens with a couple of thoughts.

One can have wicked smart people leading this country, or one cannot. One can have partisan views regarding the future of this country, or one cannot.

Personally, I’d choose to have wicked smart, non-partisan leadership.

Leadership that is competent and non-partisan. Leadership that chooses their executive leaders based on competency; not loyalty.

IMHO, many of you would agree but …

“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his livelihood depends upon his not understanding it.”
- Upton Sinclair

The fact that most of you poster’s livelihood is best served by progressive ideas, and that you are [IMHO] twisted into your belief structure by right-wing propaganda, is mind numbing to this one.

… end.
