George Rebane
Where, oh where have all the liberals gone? RR readers notice the recent absence of the Left from these comment streams, and they themselves are to blame. Our leftwing neighbors do realize that RR has been and continues as the most welcoming and open opinion forum in these parts. But every time they come to disseminate the best that their progressive side has to offer, it is quickly reduced to such a rubble (to capitalize on the term of art du jour) that they are left without a reasonable leg to underpin them. And since both sides here are in the business of addressing the independent, the undeclared, the mid-roaders, they see the flaying of their ideas and arguments as a definite liability overall, and especially amplified in the weeks running up to the election. Were their assessment otherwise – i.e. that their countered arguments had staying power – they would double down knowing in their heart that the intended audience would see through the weakness of the Right. And the more such a dialogue could be continued, the better. But, sadly for them, that is not the case.
In the meantime, can an elected candidate, supported by the Secret Service on the way to their gala swearing in ceremony overlooking Washington's impressive mall, be impeached for lying to the voters about their ability to discharge the duties of their just assumed office?
