On the internet, I find this to be very true. But in person, I can have an intelligent conversation with someone who has different preferences than I. Last night, I talked with my dad for a good 40 minutes about politics and no one raised a voice. We're on very different sides of the spectrum, but it was very cool to have a thoughtful discussion. It's so tough to do so on the internet because tone of voice is taken out of the equation. Another thing that makes stuff like this so hard, is that the number of issues that people care about with respect to these candidates is vast, and yet we can't elect one person to tackle one issue and someone else to tackle another issue as it suits our preferences. As I heard from a comic a long time ago, "I'm just gonna vote for the guy who I think is going to screw me the least". And I hereby pledge not to discuss politics on the internet (with you guys), because it's not the place for it. Let's talk about running, boobs, beer, and Nashville.
Why is it sideways?

I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby
Lazy idiot
Whew! For a minute I thought you were gonna go spider monkey again. Nice job.
Tick tock
I am on to your petty games.
Petty games can be fun right?
Blah blah blah. OBAMA RULES.
This is one of the reasons why people (including yours truly) are fascinated with politics. Unfortunately, it's not a very good reason to be fascinated with politics. We're missing M.D. big time. Tell him howdy. Yeah, let's get lunch soon.
Yup, that pretty much sums up the platfrom he's running on. Well said.
The Greatest of All Time
Fuck this. I am out. Can't even make one benign little comment without pissing people off. It would have been one thing if I went on some diatribe about issues and openly bashed politicians I take issue with. That didn't happen. Not even close. I don't know why some people (not calling anyone out) can dish shit all day and snark all over the place but then immediately get their panties in a bunch over something so trivial that was not directed at anyone. In fact it was meant to be a joke. But whatever. Say goodnight to the bad guy
