Finally had enough

and decided to take on the haters.

I posted this thread originally about responding to a woman I know who started
a thread on another website because she was truly struggling with the choice
of where to cast her vote: Obama or Romney. Although she lives in Utah and
knows her vote is meaningless, it was important to her:

Well, you can imagine some of the snark that ensued. These are right wing haters.
They don't discuss issues...they hurl insults.

I debated with myself whether to ignore the snark...and I did for a few days. But the more
I thought about it the more angry I got. So, in response to this comment from a very respected
member of that site,

Am I the only one thinking that republicansforobama.org may be the only website with less members than mothersforsusansmithandandreayates.com?


I posted this:


LOL. Actually, if you compare the numbers of the respective fb pages:

Republicans for Obama: 23,294.
https://www.facebook.com/Republicans...ref=ts&fref=ts


Democrats for Romney: 1,453.
https://www.facebook.com/DemocratsFo...ref=ts&fref=ts

Looks like Republicans choose the other guy as opposed to Dems--at least on fb--at the rate of 16:1. Not too shabby.

Couldn't find anybody to support a website for mothers who murder their children. What a snotty response. Too afraid to argue issues?

However, perhaps you would find this article of interest.
http://ajp.psychiatryonline.org/arti...ticleID=177747

The abstract indicates "Maternal filicide, or child murder by mothers, occurs more frequently in the United States than in other developed nations."

Oh, boy, another wonderful indicator of the US leading the world. Hmm...wonder if it could possibly have anything to do with the availability
of health care?!? Oh, well, good for a joke, who cares? Right?

At least you can support an animal abusing, bullying, lying, money loving guy with so much class that he will shamelessly lie--repeatedly--to the face of the President of the United States. What a guy!


And to the person who made this comment:

Figured out why libs don't care about fiscal responsibility. According to Krugman, just print more $. As some pundit I was listening to last night explained it, he was a life long liberal Dem until he learned about basic economics He now is right leaning Rep



I posted this:

Oh, boy, go with the guy who learned 'basic' economics vs the Nobel Prize Winner (2008) in Economics. What a great idea!

information in your post. I can't imagine a Dem being for mittLies. Which part do they like best about his would be presidency? Tax cuts for Adelson, So many Lies they don't know anything about him Except he Will start Wars and Cut Social Security and Medicare..or Knock them out altogether by Privatizing..like that?

Maybe they're Dems who got sucked into fox and ooops got brainwashed?
