Batten Down the Hatches, People

The Olympics are over, and the political campaign season is really upon us.  It's going to be one wild ride until November.  It's already ugly.  It's probably going to be one of the dirtiest re-election campaigns in recent memory.  I'm already hearing it.  A lefty friend just basically announced to everybody, "If you vote for Romney and Ryan, you're a homophobe!"   Thanks a lot.  I guess I should get used to being considered all sorts of nasty things before all is said and done.
