Reply #12: It's an amazing perspective, isn't it.

[Gregorian]

I have imagined this a couple of times. But no more. I don't even like entertaining the thought of that...Palin creature. I could have even tolerated McCain like I did Bush. But Palin? I'm sorry. That would have been the end of the world.

But it didn't happen. And for a good reason. This country has some modicum of goodness left. A core of decency.

Sometimes a little perspective is valuable. But if DU'ers are anything like me, it doesn't help much. I am a perfectionist. And why not? I don't like stuff that could be better. It's a fault of mine.
