I was NOT arguing you should vote for the GOP (just
opposite) but they are right about some criticisms
of the left. Of course they are hypocrites; defense
spending had a lot to do with Bush's huge deficit.
Both parties voted to bail out corporations that
should have been allowed to fail.
I hope you are correct that many people in the center
do not want to return th GOP to power.

I agree and I think the lively conversations have
disappeared partly because people feel alienated
and powerless. There are lively conversation on
David's FB page.
What difficulties are there that don't fit into the
left or right wing polarizing box?
Flaming is a problem. The trolls are up to their
usual tricks, even on David's FB page, where participants
tend to supplement and reinforce each other.

I see housing prices going down further in Calif.
We have a way to go to catch up with other areas.
I think the economy is years away from rebounding.
If Prop 19 passes the state should invest in industrial
grow of medical marijuana, rather than let the tobacco
companies 'harvest' all the profit!~)
