The Front Pages~~This is a Big Fucking Deal

[October]

48. Can I share an ugly email from a (former) friend, who happens to be GAY... so sad... and I'm furious

ME: Then vote for Romney, who bullies dogs and gay students -- and likes to fire people.

FRIEND: AND STATES CLEARLY THAT HE'S AGAINST GAY MARRIAGE. HE DOESN'T TRY TO USE ME AND DOESN'T TRY TO PLAY GAMES WITH AN ISSUE THAT'S TOO IMPORTANT TO ME. I'D RATHER VOTE FOR A GUY WHO SAYS WHAT HE MEANS AND DOESN'T TRY TO PLAY GAMES AND I PLAN TO VOTE FOR HIM AND WORK ON HIS CAMPAIGN. GLADLY. I WON'T GET SAME SEX FEDERALLY RECOGNIZED GAY MARRIAGE FROM A COWARD ANYWAY SO WHY NOT VOTE FOR SOMEONE WHO IS CLEAR ON THE ISSUE AND NOT USING GAYS TO ADVANCE HIS OWN FAILED PRESIDENCY? I HATED HIM BEFORE. I LOATHE HIM NOW. AND ANY GAY WHO THINKS HE'S "ON THIER SIDE" IS AN IDIOT.AND IF YOU'D LIKE TO WRITE ABOUT "DOGS AND GAYS" I'D LIKE TO WRITE ABOUT ALL THE THINGS THAT MAKE NOBAMA A HORRIBLE PERSON BUT WON'T SPEND MY TIME ON HORSE SHIT.
GO ROMNEY!

ME: First time a sitting president spoke out in support of gay marriage. It IS meaningful. It IS historic.

FRIEND: ACCEPTING CRUMBS FROM A COWARD IS NOT MEANINGFUL OR HISTORIC. IT'S CRAPPY POLITICS AS USUAL AND HE NEEDS TO GO. MAYBE HE CAN GO WORK FOR THE PASTOR HE THREW UNDER THE BUS WHEN HE'S DEFEATED. THAT WOULD WORK FOR ME AS LONG AS IT'S IN KENYA, HIS HOMELAND. NOBAMA IS A TRUE NARCISSIST AND ONLY DOES WHAT WILL HELP HIM GET ELECTED. WE ALREADY HAD HIM IN OFFICE TOO LONG. TIME TO GO. REALLY.

ME: The president does not WRITE the laws. He is not on the supreme court. He is not a dictator. But it is powerful when he supports issues and publicly states his opinions.

YOU CAN BELIEVE WHATEVER YOU WANT ABOUT HIM. HE PUBLICALLY SAID HE WAS EVOLVING!!!! HE'S FULL OF SHIT!!!!! HE'S THE WORST PRESIDENT IN HISTORY AND I HOPE HE GOES BYE BYE IN NOVEMBER. IF NOT WE'RE IN BIG TROUBLE AND HE WON'T TRY TO GET RID OF DOMA EITHER. GAYS WILL SUPPORT HIM (EXCEPT THOSE OF US WHO ARE ON TO HIM AND UIS DECEIT)AND HE'LL DO WHAT HE DOES BEST: LIE AND DECEIVE. SORRY FRIEND. HE'S A TRAGEDY THAT I DON'T DESERVE AND WANT HIM OUT BADLY. AND HE IS A DICTATOR. HE'LL DO ANYTHING TO ADVANCE HIS OWN AGENDA EXCEPT LEARN HOW TO WORK WITH THE REPUBLICANS TO GET THINGS DONE. HE'S AN IDIOT. WHAT A HORRIBLE FAILURE HE IS! I'M PROUD THAT I DIDN'T VOTE FOR HIM. IT'S ACTUALLY ONE OF THE PROUDEST THINBGS I'VE DONE. AND YES, I HOPE THE SUPREME COURT TRASHES NOBOMA CARE. MORE NOBAMA SHIT. SORRY THAT YOU HAVEN'T "GOTTEN" HIM YET. WHEN HE DISAPPOINTS YOU LET ME KNOW. MEANWHILE KNOW THAT THIS GAY IS ON TO HIM AND IS OUTRAGED THAT HE'S TRYING TO WIN GAY VOTES BY ONCE AGAIN LYING AND DECEIVING US.

I am dumbfounded. This friend has never gotten over Obama's nomination -- specifically, Hillary's loss. She has turned angrier and angrier and sounds like a complete right-wing nut. This woman hated GWB, but seemed to look for someone to blame when Hillary lost, and has gotten worse by the day. I wrote back to her after this awful email exchange, and told her I don't need her hatred or condescending attitude telling me "she's sorry I haven't gotten him yet." I am appalled beyond belief that she plans to work for Romney's campaign for the sole purpose of working against Obama, whom she will never call president and whom she will never call by his proper name. I am stunned by how low she's gone...
