10:59 AM by doing that you jump straight to fascism.

I would prefer that people use their brains instead of emotions when thinking about politics. Its great to want to save the world and end hunger and war. Most of us want that. But there is a reality that we live in and I just get the feeling that Most people don't see it.

I am not a Jimmy Sarbanes supporter; however, I would NEVER say that the Pappas & Sarbanes families that I know are "nasty" stated by 1:51PM. How well do you know them? They are very NICE people. I personally would prefer a more experienced judge.

Out of state, out of touch money.

Can we really tell a lot about a candidate by who their friends are? Where their money comes from?

Looks like a duck.
Walks like a duck.
Quacks like a duck.

Oh look! It's a horse.
