7 Hours in a Car with a Minnesota Conservative... [View all]

- Why is it called Obamacare!? Who names a law after themselves, who does he think he is?
- I voted for Romney... Meanwhile she is elderly, unemployed, and without medical care.
- She did not vote for Obama because he is a Muslim (YES... For real!) FWIW... I think that is code for because he is "black".
- She is pro-choice.

WTF... I really don't get it? How can we get these people to realize they vote 100% against their self interests? How do they not see it?

And my god if she was not family she would be on the side of the road in NH somewhere... Live free or die!
