Back in the day there were some that I could disagree with but respected. The differences were about the role of the federal government, tax rates and other policy issues. Now they are all just bold faced liars, and also batshit crazy. And yes, the corporate media will never use the L word. Oh yeah, and this goes down to the state and local level too.

Peace
