The trouble with left oriented (democrats) many I call friends, is that although many are smart and focused,all they perceive/hear in the neo-comms message (which is cloaked in ambiguity and generality)is what works for them either morally, or financially.

They never drill down to the policy detail, and question the multiple outcomes possible (mostly negative). Arguing is futile because without exception, denial in the form “I don’t know that” will follow.

I have been away from this blog too long. I’ve been saying since 2003 (to anyone that would listen), that 2011 will be the year of a reckoning.
