We Have Seen the Candidate and He is Us, originally uploaded by DeHoll.

How would you feel if good people, concerned about their country and worried about its prospects, couldn't get past their life's experience?

There are very bright people who grew up hearing stories from their parents and grandparents:

-- The Great Depression.
--The War
-- The Red Scare
-- Korea
-- The Iron Curtain
-- The Cuban Missile Crisis
-- Vietnam
... Add two Gulf Wars, numerous recessions, Watergate and 9-11...

They've also heard and known their families' views on ethnicity, religion, race, sexual preferences, gender identity and nationhood.

How would you feel if this jaw dropping, judgmental affirmation directed at you or your neighbor flowed from someone's lips?

'You're voting for John McCain because he's.......'
