To those clueless keyboarders who think attacking

someone on FB and Twitter with bile and bitterness over their political choices .. calling them names etc..it is nothing less than junior high bullying tactics.

It is vile..

Warren, Maddow, and all the others who have been having their accounts spammed by childish tactics.. damn .. now you know why it is so hard to get good people to run for office anymore..and I am sorry you have had to endure this because you are not walking and saluting in lockstep to someone elses' political views..

just vile. and no excuse for it

EDIT TO ADD: the primary/caucus season is getting to be less about electing the best we have.. and more about.. my way or the highway

People have to realize that this is why our founding fathers invented democracy. It was so people with vastly different opinions could all have a say in their government.
