This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

They have plenty of warts by wcnitz
They don't have a 300 pound tumor running their party, spouting Nazi rhetoric on the regular.
This isn't the same ballpark. It isn't even the same sport. There is no 'both sides' to this. I was generally a straight ticket R voter until 2014. As long as that man is driving party politics down to the local level - and as a resident of Ottawa County, MI, I can confirm that he is absolutely doing that - they will never get another vote of mine. Is that a relatively meaningless proclamation from me? Probably. But am I the only one in this camp? No.
