Re: Schiff for Senate...

The Schiffs of the world want to pretend that we need them to help us create business, we don't. I find Schiff worse than useless.

What are you talking about?

Those crazy dreamers, Washington, Jefferson and Adams. I'm re-reading the Adams/Jefferson letters for maybe the 5th time and it helps to keep me grounded as I and my associates work to build our new business. The government is structure, we are content. If they abdicate their structural support job, we'll offer to do both but it's only in our self interest. Unfortunately, that's where we are today.

I hope that the GOP neo-liberals (neocons) are dead. God Bless Them.

I hope more Schiff types take over the GOP, then do Palin types.

Ah, I see. I misread it at first.

Well, I certainly disagree with you, but it would appear that we are coming from two entirely different perspectives. You see the government as not involved enough, while I see it as far too pervasive. In principle though, you seem to agree with Schiff almost exactly.

Guess your business hasn't been put on the skids for political reasons yet.

Huh? Is this serious?

Too bad he's not running my state.

Now all you guys taking pot shots at Schiff are overlooking one thing: There is no infallible candidate for political office. It's always a contest of 'less bad'. Any realistic argument against Schiff would therefore have to show the alternative is better. The closest we've come so far boils down to a personal preference for bigger government, but considering the shape this country is in after growing government for a century the burden of persuasion looks pretty steep.
