Luke, luke, luke. When you (and if) you finally pull your head out and face life as an adult I hope you come to realize there is a time to write stupid, politically motivated garbage and personal attacks and there is a time to act like a mature adult with semi-decent upbringing.

I hope you're proud of your rude comments because I seriously doubt you have impressed anyone but your won small little mind.

As for rude, I'd say that the rudest person in this entire campaign was Paul Ryan's tailor.

You have been one of my heroes for the past 48 years. I still recall vividly the valiant cross country race you ran at our Cranbrook Homecoming in October of 1964—a race...
