that I fall into the category of your last sentence. Not so. While I do consider Mr. Grayson too short-sighted and bombastic for the Oval Office, that doesn't mean I don't want to see him rise to his full potential. I simply no longer think that necessarily includes the very top post.

When you can stand directly and openly in opposition to dangerous groups like the Klan and crazy teabaggers - I mean face to face in public as I have, in the worst infested parts of the country - then perhaps you might earn the right to lecture me on fulfilling my own civic duties. Until then, it would be more appropriate for you to resist.
