I didn't believe that the republicans could sink any lower than Bush II.

I was wrong.

Listening to all these nightmareish clowns on the RNC freakshow makes me very nervous that anybody would vote for them.

My family members, who are conservative...too many, are saying that they are either sitting this one out or voting Libertarian.

My wife and I will be voting for Clinton, and I hope she wins by a landslide.

I will still work towards the progressive cause, but I can't in good conscience sit this one out.

I thought GWB was as low as it could get. I'm beginning to believe there is no bottom, which is really scary.

thought this was possible. It was just another outrageous publicity stunt, he wasn't even trying. Now he thinks he is invincible, a very frightening trait in a leader. History has shown us that repeatedly, but Trump was probably never a history buff.

I may dislike Hillary. but despise Bush. Granted, I know this election is a choice between an early stage cancer they can cure with chemotherapy and some advanced stage, incurable form of leprosy, but the fact W. walked out of office tells me this is a mission where failure is not an option.

See you in chemo
