There are probably some crazy Democrats, but the Republicans have gone over the edge.<br /><br />A lengthy (but well-worth the read) year-old post written by a former Republican may interest you:<br />http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/3079:goodbye-to-all-that-reflections-of-a-gop-operative-who-left-the-cult<br /><br />Dr. Phil said something interesting on the Letterman show the other night. Both parties try to figure out what scares the voters. Then they address their ad campaigns to those fears. If you don't vote for a certain candidate, all your fears will come true. Very few ads actually say anything of substance. <br /><br />I had never thought about it, but I think that is true.<br /><br />At election time, I wish I lived in the U.K. There are no TV election ads and campaigning is limited to 6 weeks (I think.) I hate the ads so much I watched only TV I had recorded so I could FF through the ads. I stopped answering my phone, deleted all political email and shredded all campaign mail.CJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11105598015852813723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8058705509663423103.post-83082347915153449012012-11-11T12:07:23.472-05:002012-11-11T12:07:23.472-05:00I voted Green Party because as bad as Romney would...I voted Green Party because as bad as Romney would have been, Obama's record on human rights is so abysmal, and his words about peace so empty that I couldn't vote for him a second time. Of the two, I'm glad Obama won, but I couldn't have voted for him even if I had known that it would have been my vote that kept him in office.Snowbrushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436087215476479042noreply@blogger.com
