Showing Original Post only (View all)My friends, I was wrong. [View all]
For weeks now I've been saying that we had 55 million americans that were out of the workforce, and uncounted, forgotten by our party.
I was wrong. http://bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t16.htm
I misread the table, and I apologize. I was using the women not in the workforce number, not the total. The total is 92 million forgotten, uncounted, and ignored people.
I wanted to set the record straight, and I apologize for my stupidity.

LGBT issues are a game to that person only to be used to attack perceived enemies.

That implies payment. I was never paid and I am currently boycotting Russian media.

Actually, I was never paid and I always spoke my mind. When Russia became anti-gay, I stopped going.
