Deleted my FB Republican friends [View all]

I don't know what got into me. I saw that irritating "Friends who Like Romney and Ryan" thing on the side and just started deleting all the names of Friends who "Liked" Romney and Ryan.

I actually feel kind of bad about it now. But I've been getting into some heated debates with some of them and it was taking too much time. I'll never see most of those people again anyway and I now know their true colors.

I actually have a few more to delete. Mainly, my racist cousins in Las Vegas who have posted some terrible things about Obama. Next time I log-in I'll cut them out.
