I met yesterday morning with my local Supervisor in our County, a right-leaning independent. We met to discuss local issues with two other local constituents; one a strong female republican, and the other a strong female tea-party advocate.

I found the discussions we had to be very intriguing. It all began with observations about an Obama bumper sticker on my car, a handicapped accessible van. I quickly explained that my handicapped wife was a strong Obama supporter.Cheesy Grin

I did acknowledge that I was a left-leaning "Jeffersonian republican" grounded with credentials dating back to the late 1960's/early 1970's free-thinking revolution. As I truly see myself in the middle of two extremes, I feel overwhelmed by the disdain I see on the right and the left, equally, seemingly confirming my lifelong perspective of an outsider. Go figure?

Could it be that we are creating our own corrective disease based upon hate?

Rambling on....

Hi j-t,

Obama has brought it up as much as anyone!!

The Republicans will use whatever is to hand to reduce the size of government. Reducing government is the issue. Believe me, when surpluses appear, they will use those also:

"We must lower taxes because the government is taking in too much revenue. We need to give the people back their own money!!"

It just makes sense to disqualify it as a Republican "issue". It is a pretend issue for Republicans.
