And why would you be concerned with my use of the word in the context of this thread? Is there something wrong with revealing what you feel about something and putting a question out there to see what others think about it? I don't buy into that "simply moving on" canard when it occurs in high places. People in powerful positions don't quit "just to move on." Especially when there is so much more work to be done for the progressive cause. When you stop doing all you can to support the President of the United States, especially one who is a fellow democrat, my suspicions are aroused. I think my assessment is a healthy one.
