A Time To Vote

    Reminds me of Matthew McConaughey's closing arguement in "A Time To Kill". Well said.

    I was waiting for the lynching. Knew it was only a few paragraphs away. This has got to be one of the worst pieces of writing I think I've ever read. Politics is tough. It takes someone who can go the distance. Barack Obama would laugh at these words. He didn't get to where he is by marinating in his victimhood. He excelled by building coalitions with all different kinds of people. Snap out of it, and follow his example. If you can't run with the dogs, don't piss with the puppies.

    For the opposition, it makes you wonder why you do what you do sometimes. That imagery is way too much.
