[The First Aria]

This is why I don't like politics... rather than have persuasive arguments about merits and policy, we're involved in smears and jabs, directly or by proxy. Even the candidate or position we may support deserves only thinly veiled scorn, lest we offend someone who holds a different banner.

I do miss a fiscally conservative, socially progressive platform... but even those candidates who profess something along these lines, carry too many kooky ideas.

Anyway, since the democrats are still not kissing the moral majority's ass, and appear to be smart enough not to spout plans that outright violate the constitution, then they'll get my vote.

Maybe if some political hacks would have some morals.. Like how moral was it to let our diplomat and four Americans die at the hands of thugs in Libya? They could of had some help there in like 3 hrs if someone in the DoD or our Secretary of State would of answered a call and got off their political ass.

Or, I hope you are not suggesting Obama has any scruples, let alone morals for butchering our Constitution.

Or, are you referring to Donald Trump who don't want any terrorists hidden in the refugees from Saudi Arabia or other places sneaking in among maybe other wise scared and beaten up peoples??

Maybe when the truly compassionate, inclusive, and respectful republicans (like my father, who believes in civic duty, that we should legalize pot, and was the straight best man at a gay wedding), take back their party I'll consider giving them my vote again.

Or maybe you just get your news from Twitter or Facebook? Or maybe NBC? Cause you sure evidently didn't listen to acceptance speeches from both parties like I did... Or you would of heard the cheers from the Republicans when Mr. Trump said we needed to protect all Americans and among the list was very much included Gays, Lesbians and all Trans Gender people.

See, it the people that blindly follow party politics needless of any real truth or reason behind the garbage put out by slanted news organizations.....That screw up a great nation and take us down the road of socialism..
