Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

[goodluck]

why do the candidates bring out such ill will? is it reflective of the country or the candidates

both, i think.

the US has always been a seething cauldron underneath those platitudes of "melting pot". Even within groups that are attacked by others. sometimes the seething is just a simmering, not outright hatread but simply mistrust or resentment or envy or just plain ignorance. but it doesn't take much to turn that simmer into a boil. my personal belief is that bush has zero comprehension of how to lead, and this gets him and us into big trouble. no time right now to elaborate, pretty busy today.
