Reply #5: Things have gotten ugly. I don't like the talk on either side.

This year though, the Repubs and Tea Party are over the top and it is scary. Whatever happened to disagreeing with a person's ideas and opinions, but respecting that person's right to feel/believe as they do? All the hateful talk about Marxists, Communists, Hitler etc is crazy. We are all Americans even if we disagree on what is the best direction for our country. I fear these nasty divisions are being promoted and even encouraged, and the American people my not be able to overcome their mistrust or anger against one another, and the opposing party. Frankly, any spokesperson or politician who promotes and encourages these divisions and repeats the hate rhetoric does not care at all about America or the American people.
