Thank you Paul Krugman for the truth.
I know that Obama supporters are throwing you under a bus, because they don't particularly like the truth they are hearing. Sometimes the truth is hard to hear, as they support a candidate who they honestly believe can do no wrong. But thank you for exposing the truth, as you always do.

1. Funny, I haven't heard the outcry
from Obama supporters...no one is "boycotting", no one is writing letters, no one has said "he is dead to me now"....
everyone can have their opinion, I can't change his--and he can't change mine...see how it works?

and I'm not throwing him under a bus..

4. exactly!!!
when they find one journalist who shares their views he's elevated to God-like Status. Anyone who disagrees with them is an idiot, sexist, and dead to them....

10. Hillary has tied up all the buses there are. Finished off the last of them
with the MoveOn.org 'busthrowingunder'.

3. I generally like Krugman - I've read his books.- but I won't let him decide how I vote
nor do I think he would want to.

8. If Krugman was concerned about the truth, he'd criticize all the candidates
Instead, he's only criticized Obama. He's criticized him more than he has McCain. This can be understood in the heat of a close primary contest, but if he keeps up this nonsense in the general election, he deserves to be thrown under the bus.

9. Opinion is neither true nor false -- so your premise is flawed
When Krugman talks about what he knows -- economics -- I respect him greatly.

When he talks about his political opinions, they carry no more weight than those of my car mechanic or the guy who cuts my lawn. They're interesting and he's entitled to them, but they are in no way "the truth."
