    It’s working, so yes, the general is just as good a time if not a better to apply pressure.

    The Democratic establishment uses the general as a way to twistthe arms of voters, so if they do it there’s no reason voters can’t do it right back. It sounds like you’ve forgotten that the politicians are suppose to work for you in a democracy, not vice versa.

      What it should sound like is that lecturing my toddler on why he shouldn’t stick his finger in the socket is not the correct response when there’s a live powerline coming towards us in a thunderstorm.

      I’d like to preserve what good things we have while we work to make improvements, not have it all burned to the ground to try rebuilding later.
