I can respect this criticism from FBO, as it based on the same thing as my criticism of him and all the other left-wingers here - namely, the issues a person supports through the people they support.
Who here supports a complete ban on fracking? It is the same people who would vote for Warren v. Trump.
Who does not? Me. I think it unfounded hysteria. It would damage our economy and make us once again dependent on foreign oil. So, in a Trump v. Warren race, I will vote for Trump.
FBO places environmental issues at the top of his concern list(correct me if I am wrong, FBO). I place tax and fiscal policy at the top of mine. I guess each of us has issues we consider the most important. It appears politeness and decorum in the office of POTUS is a big one for some people.
Truth is, FBO, although I know this is not what you meant, I really could care less about the ecology, meaning that I care, just not to your maximum level, and I also could care more. But I think that blasting our economy back to the level of Guatamala is not going to help our grandchildren(in my case, great grandchildren) cope. It is telling that you tell me to enjoy my money "while I can". I don't have much longer, and of course I want to spend my final years not worrying about finances.(not there yet) But i also want my kids, grandkids, and greatgrandkids to enjoy the same freedom from financial worry. I want them to have jobs that can enable them to live well.
So I salute you, for taking a stand on an issue. We are just alike in principle, you and I, we just choose different issues.
