Crap! I just had something happen that was utterly unintentional, and it’s embarrassing. mymatedave’s comment — the one to which this was a reply — showed up twice in my inbox, because one was the original and one was an edited version. I attempted to delete one of them, purely out of compulsive neatness, and that somehow deleted everything.
My apologies to mymatedave, and his original comment is reproduced below. He said:
Good luck on getting your time down, I'm more of a walker than a runner myself and thanks for the fic link. But I've been seeing the Romney campaign and they have been more than a little dishonest themselves.
And something that may affect you, early last month Romney claimed that Obama was trying to restrict military voting in Ohio when that was completely false.
I know you're a conservative guy and a regular republican voter but aren't you annoyed that the leaders of your party are lying to you all the time?
This isn't meant as an attack on you or your political views, I truly am interested in what someone who I disagree with politically but can have a rational discussion believes. I understand that political discussions in the US have a way of devolving into ranting from both sides.

The whole "you didn't build that" debacle.
Paul Ryan's convention speech being so dishonest even a fox news writer came out and said it.
