4. Stop getting in my thought bubble!

But in all seriousness, when you have people holding public office saying such stupid and outrageous things, hearing Mr. Kerry say that makes me a little sad.

Sometimes I don't WANT to have to tolerate the things some elected officials say. Yesterday, for example, I Was watching the local news here in DC, and this is a direct quote from John Boehner:
"You know the President has opposed this sequester yet, uh, he's far more interested in holding campaign rallies than he has urging his, uh, senate, uh, Democrats than actually pass a plan"


I don;t usually have a problem with 'Uh's', I'm not into being a language police, but the same thing without the 'Uh's' is this:
"you know the president has opposed this sequester yet he's far more interested in holding campaign rallies than he has urging his senate Democrats than actually pass a plan"
This is just stupid.

judging by what the 2nd amendment gun folk are saying here on DU, I'd say Kerry is spot on! CTyankee Feb 2013 #3
