Oh, I agree that we should indeed avoid Hobgoblins. And please note what I said about responding to facts.
Changing your views based on changed facts is one thing, changing your views for simple political gain is another. This, much like a pro-lifer suddenly embracing choice because he knows he'd not get elected otherwise. It's the hypocrisy of it that I'm pointing to.
And it's that sort of hypocrisy which you praise the Democrats for. This, with their guilt-free inconsistencies all rendered in the name of political expediency.
A politician who promises one thing in the election yet wastes no time once elected to break those promises is a politician not to be trusted with anything. This, let alone be trusted with the fate of the nation's economy. Yet, that's exactly what we've done with Obama.
That's nothing to praise, celebrate, nor be "comfortable" with.
