It is uncomfortable to converse with someone who disparages others for their politics. Rethugs is offensive and I am sure it is meant to be offensive. Who would consider compromising when the discourse has fallen so low. Is Susan Collins a rethug? Is Mitt Romney a rethug? If anyone is acting like a thug it is you. I am a registered Republican who voted for Joe last fall. I voted for our Democrat Governor. I won't ever vote for Steve Scalise again and I have told him so. It is people like you who are crippling our democracy, the uncompromising on the right and the left who insult everyone who does not agree with them.
