Has this Republican primary season been entertaining, embarrassing, or both?

It's been a great opportunity to become motivated as a conservative and think about what it means to be an American living in a free society. I've enjoyed listening to our candidates debate and discuss the issues facing us and look forward to exchanges to come.

Did you feel the same way in 08 Glob?

No.  The Tea Party has emboldened some of the worst elements who reside under the GOP umbrella.  I've always had a problem with GOP nastiness, but it's at a whole new level unseen in recent decades.

Can you please describe in depth detail which elements you're talking about and which level of unseen nastiness you refer to? What makes them so nasty? Is it because they prefer freedom over dependency on the government? Answers and not rhetoric please.

I agree J.J. Obama's surroundings are much less favorable than in 2008. He's not a new kid running for president who has anything working in his favor due to a 25% approval rating for Bush. He's now the president and must answer for things like gas prices and unemployment.
