Name calling

Jerk, liar, stupid, disaster, maniac, pathetic, loser and disgusting are just a few of the printable words bandied about so freely during the current primary season.

If the bully in the school yard called his or her classmates any of these names, he or she would be punished by school personnel and hopefully his or her parents.

What poor examples have been shown to our younger and future voters. The only one who could be proud of all of this ugly rhetoric is Archie Bunker.
