In reply to the discussion: A Romney presidency will NOT take us back 50 years [View all]plethoro
(594 posts)fifty years ago. It was a metaphor for returning "backwards"--irrespective of whether backwards was better or worse. Of course, I suppose the writer could have spent more time writing an epistle about exactly how things were that we are using in our comparison. But who would have read it? Not me. I could spend every day reading articles and comments written about this election. But the short paragraph written by whoever this understanding person was helped give perspective to what would happen in a possible loss by Obama--regardless how fly-specking revealed otherwise. We are in the most important election ever held in this country. The brief comment helped me and others I emailed it to develop resolve. Your deciphering of that brief comment did not. Go Obama!
