Why is it if you disagree with a Democrat they go into attack mode? Right wing hypocrisy — ruthless contempt for the poor — tea party supremacists — pathetic hypocrites — and the list goes on …

It is difficult to try to discuss anything with the likes of Jimmy … because they are full of hatred for anyone who does not share their belief, political or otherwise. For example, when he refers to Romney the draft dodger, and a MORMON to boot, what does that tell you he thinks of the Mormon religion? What does being a Mormon have to do with anything?

I don’t think that wanting to balance the budget and live within our means makes the tea party some kind of extremist. I don’t know how you run your household, but if we don’t have the money … we don’t buy it.

Food stamp use is up 75 percent in five years … unemployment still upward of 7 percent … IRS scandal … government spying … Obama has done more to divide this country than unite it when he could have done the opposite. And how can you deny the problems of Obamacare?

It would be useless to go on. In order to reason with someone, you actually have to have an open mind. For the record, I don’t hate Democrats, even though they are a little misguided. I don’t hate Mormons, even though it’s not my religion. I don’t even hate Obama, I just think he is inept, and has surrounded himself with inept people. I don’t even hate Jimmy. I just can’t help thinking of him as the scarecrow in the “Wizard of Oz.” I just hope he finds the wizard soon.

I thought we had a party system where you could express views without being attacked. If we all had the same view, blindly following our leader, what kind of nation would we be?
