Everyone has the right to freedom of speech. To voice their opinions.

However the inflamed rants on what if...if he does this...he has betrayed the voters...etc,etc,etc. All this before any deal was made. The rants here made it sound like it was a done deal! Done and in writing! I have to ask all of the ranters if they were in on the negotiations. I for one was not there as a first hand wittiness.

So what I am asking is that you hold off on your done deal criticisms until they are a done deal. Write the White House, you Senate and Congress person.Express your opinions to them. If you are then not satisfied when the deal is a fact, you are welcome to your right...to your freedom to criticize. Please let us stop the Conspiracy Theories!



Undermining this President with nitpicking and fault-finding and paranoid conspiracy theories has zero effect but to hamstring the only damned horse we've got to ride. He's doing the hardest job in the world at the absolute hardest time to do it, with a phalanx of certifiably insane opponents ready to render our money worthless and our families homeless for the sake of advancing an economic theory that has been proven false.
