True Political Discourse

"Fuck you chink!"

The last time I heard that was my freshman year in college.  

I guess I am naive but, I like to think that people don't think this way anymore.  Maybe we have become a little better.  I am wrong.  People hate and I don't think it will ever stop.  

This healthcare debate has brought out some serious hate.  A Member of Congress was called a "Faggot," they used the N word, they asked Jesse Jackson Sr. if he had anymore mistresses.  The spat on a Member.  They have signs that say: "If Senator Brown cannot stop this, maybe my Browning will."

Here is a smattering of calls and comments to the office:
"Fuck, you fucking whore!"
"You are ruining the country, and you better watch your back!"
"Maybe if CapSwell didn't have just a BA he could give better advice"
"You're a socialist, communist and how do you sleep at night"

I took a ton of meetings on healthcare and I feel like I got my ass kicked.  I have never been yelled and screamed at so much. People hate us.  People wants us dead.  I guess, "Fuck you chink!"  Will never go away.  People want to hate.  People want to destroy.

Ah... fun loving politics. It's all for what's best for the country, which means death to all that oppose. Fun stuff.

Ah politics.
It's better to be on a side you believe on and know how to defend it than just be a nuisance and go with the flow.
Be strong! Good luck.
