My next door neighbor is a teabagger..We have brief little chats across the fence at times,while out doing yard work....When his conversation turns toward teabaggery,I find a way to escape....Gotta get a drink,I need to finish mowing...Something..Anything...
So this morning,our wives get to chatting over the fence..His tells mine how her hubby,as a teen,climbed a power pole,got severly shocked,fell and hit his head..As it goes,he was hospitalized,in a coma for a few weeks,and has never been "normal",since..As a result,he now in his mid 40s,is unable to function at a level allowing him to hold a job,and still needs ongoing medical care...He suffers acute headaches and has some sort of tunnel vision that blures out after short distanaces...
So this guy.....This genious of a teabagger,according to what his wife told mine,draws gov.disability and gov.healthcare.They have 2 highschool age kids at home,and receive food stamps and gov healthcare for the kids.Good chance they avail themselves of other social programs that weren't mentioned.....
Now to the genious aspect....This guy..This ASSHAT,adamantly insists that Obama is ruining the country,and that the only reasonable choice is to vote repub,top to bottom.....So he will vote for the folks who VOW to cut the very progrqms he and his family rely on....
Now,on my part,this all seems sheer lunacy and idiocy....So..What am I missing??...Anyone?
I'm really struggling to wrap my mind around his reasoning.....I know full well many people vote against their own interests,but this is cutting your own throat and maiming your family,in the bargain.....I don't get it.....
