Is there a less appetizing matchup next year than Clinton-Bush?  Just wondering.

Right now they all look like unappetizing matchups to me.

I'm hoping Biden jumps in for no other reason is to hear Obama's linguistic gymnastics trying to stay neutral.

Bernie v Rand would be interesting.  Polar opposites who often express respect for one another.  I wonder how long it would take to get dirty.  A week?

The team is from the town of Liberal, Kansas.   

Read the many heartfelt comments.   And then consider the yahoo who couldn't resist sniping at the name "Liberal".  There's a time and place for everything but I can't recall anything more objectionable than what this guy said.

Just a response to this post in Around Baseball that I thought was more appropriate here, but I was reading a story on legal immigration this morning on Breitbart and the comments there were just disgusting.  The top comment with 174 likes was from someone who mentioned how they wished Obama was dead for policies like that.   

I'm a little bit of a Politico junkie, but the comments sections on stories there are just cesspools of really disturbed, hateful people from all political persuasions. 

As low as our voter turnout in this country is, it's pretty disturbing to think that perhaps a sizeable portion of the people who do actually vote are the types of people you wind up seeing commenting on places like Politico, Breitbart and the like.

My wife and I were just having this conversation this morning. Those are the only two I would vote for right now, because I think they actually believe in something and haven't completely given in to political charade and nonsense. I'd rather have someone in office I can respect than someone I agree with. Paul is the guy I want, through and through, but if one of the assclowns on the Republican side beats him out, and Bernie as on the Dem side, I'm voting Bernie. For real.

Political comment sections are the only ones that make sports message boards look sane.

Fun with democracy:  their vote counts just as much as yours.  This is why I don't believe in encouraging (all) people to vote.
