Just sent the following LTTE to my local rag.

I wonder if I'm the only one who has noticed how disgusting and repugnant the crowds are at the Republican debates. (I have my doubts, since there are few people in this country who would punish themselves by watching those slow-motion train wrecks.) And it doesn't seem to matter where these debates are held; the crowds at every one of them have been cretins.

They cheered for the large number of death row executions in Texas (and you can be assured that with the state of the "justice" system in Texas, at least a few of those executions were of innocent people).

They cheered for the death of the uninsured.

They booed a gay GI in Iraq.

And just recently they booed a journalist that dared to do her job and ask character questions of an accused sexual predator.

I can only conclude that current Republican voters are complete sociopaths, because their behavior is the behavior of individuals who hate and hold in contempt anyone who is different or "less worthy" than they. Apparently, Republican voters think death and/or humiliation is appropriate for any who oppose them.

Disgusting. You do know that the rest of us can see and hear what you do, right?

2. The Daily News published my LTTE on the same topic...

Grand Old Partisans

The recent GOP debates have been informative, to say the least. Booing a U.S. soldier serving in Iraq and cheering a may dying without health insurance? I am no longer afraid of the Republican candidates for President; I am afraid of the Republican voters.

3. Nice. Wish I could rec your reply.

4. I love that last line.

Though I'm sure you'll ruffle half the feathers in your community, at least you left them with a good barb.

5. Oh, I do that deliberately.

You should see the incoherent hateful replies my LTTEs usually get. They might as well be scrawled in crayon.
