The reality outside Washington

This letter is in response to the by Gene Lyons editorial on August 16.

He questioned the reality for the GOP. He has failed to acknowledge that there are many of us voters who live out in the wilderness beyond the Potomac and Hudson who care.

So now Mr. Lyons please answer these two questions: Why do those who live on your side of the Potomac and Hudson feel you have the right to exempt yourselves from Obamacare? And how do those of you who hunker down on the other side of the Potomac and Hudson like yourself. Mr. Lyons, know what it is like to work in the real world producing products and services?

This is reality out here.
