I wasn't really paying attention, because I do not plan on voting for him in the primary. I have only so much time. I am voting for Duncan Hunter, if you would like to check him out. He is a stand up guy for the Conservative Party who has no testicles, yet. For shame! I feel about my party the same way you feel about yours. When are they going to realize that they work only on the good graces of us? I hate it when they are so polite to each other on tv, 'My esteemed collegue...'...blah! ;)<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('127269','Rosemary'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('127269','Rosemary','PS.

(a) rubbing it in just because he can

- I chose (c), all of the above

On the one hand it’s sad to see what we’ve become politically, on the other I almost hope it continues, even grows, and that the pointless stupidity of it all drives even more people away from the polls next time around.

They are about image - who has the best attack ads that resonate with the average voter who doesn't have the time or interest to do any research on their own.
