Those eyes, those McClintock eyes. Just like that one Dixie Chick. I can't tell which eye to look at.

Did you ever hit a hot button.
I'm sorry, but stuff like this is really uncalled for. I detest these sort of mindless insults. My oldest daughter had strabismus and amblyopia from birth (crossed and lazy eye) and had to undergo 3 operations by the time she was four. I can still remember the cruel taunting and pain she was subjected to. Obviously no one in your family ever went through something like that - for which you are lucky - or I'm sure you wouldn't post something so petty and mean.

Is this really what this forum has been reduced to? Can't discuss the issues rationally so we throw childish insults about crossed eyes, thin lips, etc.? I could do without most of the vile and imbecilic graphics as well.

Everything I've said goes for both sides. If this is an example of "The Big Tent" Republicans are always raving about it makes me very glad I am an Independent. Talk about eating your own.

There are still plenty of rational, sane people on this site, but also a large crowd of others who really, REALLY need to GROW UP.

McClintock is not telegenic and comes off badly on TV. Something that is a killer in a campaign like this. I was making that point by referring to his eyes. He looks a bit crazed and odd. That's too bad for him because too many people will react negatively to his poor TV presence.

As far as your daughter's past problem it has nothing to do with my comments about McClintock. And don't presume that because you experienced something unfortunate such as you described I have not either.

If you think what I said was a "mindless insult" you would likely puke over what the Davis and Busamante hired guns are saying about McClintock behind closed doors. In between their glee that McClintock is still in the race. Their comments would make mine look very mild.

Politics is not high tea. The idea is to win. It's a mean and nasty business filled with mean and nasty people. That's the way it is.

You're right. But, the kind of shallowness exhibited in his post is exactly what leads such a person to support an empty suit like Schwarzenegger.
