Ugh, so true. But I was pretty pleased to be voted Person of the Year in 2006.
Do we really want people like this making the decision about who leads this country? It saddens me the direction this campaign is going in. What will our country come to? Hate begets more hate and nothing good can come from it.
So does that make it right? Should we all just sink into the gutter? Don't you wish for a more honorable victory? Somethings are worth standing up for - or would you rather we all sink to the lowest common denominator?
