77. It's his supporters is it?!
Well, that is no reason to vote against him if he is the right person for the job.

This is what I think, politics today is a game for people; we form loyalties and take it personally when they are attacked. For humans, there is no instinct stronger than us versus them, and once you organize your loyalties, you defend us and attack them. So, it is natural for two camps competing with each other to find faults with the other, even unfairly. And is is natural for someone that is less competitive to get a free ride. In the GE, the us will be the democrats and the them will be the republicans and the conflicts will shift from within-party to between-party.


While this is predictable and understandable, I do not understand why people feel the need to be rude, even profane, and I believe that good candidates are treated with disrespect. I am an Obama supporter. I don't mind Edwards, but don't like Clinton. That said, if I met her I would be polite and show respect, and I try my best to extend that courtesy while on this forum.
