What walker's been up to - you LIKE that? You approve? Really????? This is good what he's been doing????
Yeah, I don't understand any of that, either, a la izquierda. I do not. It's against everything I believe in - as the mother of a daughter just getting started out in the workforce now. I say that having lost a gay friend. He unfriended me on Facebook, after we got into increasingly heated and somewhat bewildering arguments. Hates Obama. Hates everybody else too, including romney, because they're all alike and they all take money from Wall Street and on and on and on. And he just can't find it within himself to support the only President who ever stuck his neck out this far for the gay community. That just means utterly nothing to this fellow. Didn't go far enough! Shoulda done this other thing instead!
Unbelievable. I still think it's part of this fairytale thinking - if I just keep voting republi-CON and keep voting republi-CON, I'LL be rich, too, someday, like they are! I think that's how some people just choose to overlook what the facts are, because they're looking beyond facts to that magic day when voting republi-CON will somehow pay off in their pocketbooks. Not realizing that trickle-down is actually "pee-on." Which is what they're doomed to be, in perpetuity, if they keep swallowing republi-CON fairy stories.
