SUNDAY MUSING

THE TRUST FACTOR

YESTERDAY, BROTHER ROMNEY WAS SEVERELY CONSERVATIVE.

TODAY, ROMNEY IS A COMPASSIONATE CONSERVATIVE

TOMORROW, MITT MIGHT CLAIM TO BE SEVERELY LIBERAL

BESIDES THE ABOVE STRANGE "SYLLOGISM," I REFER TO THESE CHANGES IN POSISTION
"POLITICS OF THE CHAMELEON."

THE GOOD BOOK WARNS US, METAPHORICALLY, TO "BEWARE OF WOLVES IN SHEEP'S
CLOTHING." LOOK BEYOND THE POLITICAL COSMETICS OR "PANCAKE." BE CONCERNED WITH
THE CHARACTER OF THE POLITICAL ACTOR. I like Mr. Huntsman, the politically
debonair Republican. He reminds me of my caricature of this great party—the old
GOP--not the new GOP.

ECONOMY
Unemployment fell from 8.1% to 7.8% in the last report. Instead of celebrating
the fact that the economy is improving—many, and you know who, are crying foul,
foul, foul! GOOD NEWS NOW BECOMES BAD NEWS. INDEED, IT IRRITATES THEM. It's very
obvious how self/group interests of politicians supersede the suffering of
ordinary citizens when competing for political power.

When the world's largest economy collapses as it did during the last
administration, you don't just pick it up and fix it overnight. And, as
President Clinton noted brilliantly not even his administration that balanced
the budget and gave us surplus could tackle the economic mess that happened in
the wake of the fall of the economy. Even Republicans acknowledged they created
the problem. So, let's give credit to the policies enacted to address this
national and global problem. And credit, too, should be given to hardworking
Americans.

VICE PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE
Besides arguing that most of us are unwilling to go back the policies that got
us into this hole, Biden must enumerate clearly how the policies of this
administration got us out of the ABYSS. He should demand Mitt's tax return—at
least 10 years of it—and ask Mr. Ryan the question: "WHERE IS THE BEEF" in their
policies? So far, we have been told that tax loopholes for the rich would be
sealed without examples of any one loophole.
