Rand Paul? Glad you fired the campagin worker who flung a woman to the ground and stepped on her head, but interesting that you hired him in the first place.

A rant is just that...a rant. And I'm entitled to my opinion and my frustration - which is extreme.

I see you as an extremely creative and thoughtful person, who is intelligent and clever, doesn't believe everything out there, and can make up her own mind. If you have a passionate leaning towards an extremist candidate, then I'm sure you have a good reason for it, however much I may disagree with it.

I'm very concerned, fearful even, that a large number of people are voting against their own best interests, out of economic fear, unemployment, etc. and am *very* worried about the historic parallels with Germany, about 1936, re: scapegoatting, misinformation, etc. Considering that the main stream, corporate-owned, supposedly "liberal" (i.e. non-FOX) media is often repeating and perpetuating that same, documentably-untrue information, it's worrisome.

Today I'm very annoyed at the people who choose NOT to vote, to punish someone or a particular party, or just can't be bothered (please!), and have reminded folks that PEOPLE DIED so that they could have the *privilege* of voting. Side Note: I think that we can all agree that the money being spent, *by everyone* in this election, is especially obscene.
