I'll have to say, some of the people I know who are voting for Romney are always very sure of themselves.
Some of them are constantly posting on FB about how G-d is going to help them through this problem or that, or thanking G-d for a great day, etc. Maybe that's a sign that they're more insecure on the inside than they let on.
I'm amazed that I know several teachers who have "liked" Romney. But they're also the ones who post about G-d stuff a lot. I guess when the Republicans succeed in shutting down public schools, or replacing all the teachers with TFA's straight out of college who will work for an intern's wage, they'll just say it's G-d's will, and they'll pride themselves for accepting it without complaining.

I have no RW friends, but RWers I encounter do seem extremely grumpy all the time.
