We used to have some real discussions, not sound bites, and smart a**ed remarks, what happened to the gray material on this site???
The Flying Monkey brigade that surrounds each and every candidate cannot distinguish straightforward criticism from attack. They therefore descend and begin flinging poo on anyone who seems to not be a worshiper at whatever idol they frequent. Those of us who like those sort of intellectual discussions have decided it's rarely worth it, and are waiting out the primaries.
I get better responses from my pre teen nieces and nephews than I do on Free Republic sometimes.
