Real Fear and Real Loathing on the Campaign Trail in '16

I really miss Hunter S. Thompson this Election Year.

Presidential Campaign 2016 - 45% in one Political Camp, 45% in the other and 10% feeling suffocated. I personally do not care whom you plan on voting for. Please STOP telling me. This year, of all years, we should all appreciate the truth spewed from Hunter. Here are a few Thompson's quotes from the past.

“The mind of America is seized by a fatal dry rot - and it's only a question of time before all that the mind controls will run amuck in a frenzy of stupid, impotent fear."

"Objective journalism is one of the main reasons that American politics has been allowed to be so corrupt for so long. "

"Not everybody is comfortable with the idea that politics is a guilty addiction. But it is." 

"Democracy as a system has evolved into something that Thomas Jefferson didn't anticipate."

"All the blood is drained out of democracy - it dies - when only half the population votes." 

" I had a soft-spot in my heart for Ronald Reagan, if only because he was a sportswriter in his youth." 

" I have a theory that the truth is never told during the nine-to-five hours." 

"The only difference between the sane and the insane is that the sane have the power to lock up the insane."  Hunter S. Thompson
