but gays.

I don't go out clubbin' much (not my thing). But I recently went a few weeks ago. At one point, the topic of discussion came to politics. It left me so sad about my fellow homos.. only half of those there even cared enough to vote. The others couldn't even name Bush's challenger.

So friggin' disappointing. If we can up the homo vote, it might be good for another % or so at the polls.

Edit: this has been duplicated in other experiences as well. So that one group of folks at the club doesn't seem to be an isolated instance to me..

4. Seniors!
They are very reliable voters and we definitely have the superior positions on issues affecting senior citizens. How we lost so many of them to * is mind boggling to me.
