james. I cannot answer for everyone, just myself. I see a political class that has used hate and fear to control the voters. I see the voters, from both sides allowing their selves to be used. I see a dem. party supporter who has used demeaning labels, encouraged by those leaders towards all opposition. For 8 years anyone who disagreed with any policy of BHO was labeled a racist. Now, anyone who supports change is labeled not just as a racist but with any of a number of other labels. And yes james, it has worked both ways but, and most likely due to this being Eugene, the amount of hate from the left on this site far out weighs the very few from the right. Those of us on the right are insulted daily, sometimes blatantly, sometimes more subtle. Eric and Garys latest is to accuse opposing viewers of being angry. I want a huge change from the status quo, I know what this nation has been doing has been a failures to our citizens. I am not afraid to try something drastically different.
