In reply to the discussion: The Emotarian Left Bears Responsibility for The #GOPshutdown [View all]Aerows
(39,961 posts)407. You are Canadian
And you can't even vote in the US, so ... what is your skin in this game? It's time that gets pointed out. There are a handful of you whom are the loudest Obama cheerleaders, but you can't even vote in this country.
Why is that? I think that is a fair question.
I'm not trying to be an ass, and I love you as a person, but this question needs to be asked and answered.
