What really disturbs me...if your Rep. friends/family members vote for Mitt after the last few weeks [View all]

the Libya mess, and esp. his disdain for "the 47%" (which of course includes ALL Obama voters)...what does this say about how they feel about you? Us? Do they agree with Mitt and see us the way he does? Boggles the mind....

I will be really interested in hearing stories here of coming discussions between DUers and their Rep family and friends - how they will gloss over Mitt's words, slurs, and slams. I am pretty lucky - really no close Rep. friends - and family-wise, only my brother. My wife is not so lucky - most of her quilt group is Rep, as is her mother and brother.
