(14,177 posts)Like Mitt Robme, he really is the worst. I remember a lot of people thought he was the sane moderate. I wasn't fooled. As soon as I heard about Seamus, I knew he was the worst of the bunch even if we didn't know what else he did at the time. This was before Baingate, before Barbergate, before Troopergate, and before his eloquent Lemon, wet, good speech. Now, there are people that will support this guy for President when most of them wouldn't even want him for a neighbor.
So, I really don't know what to call people that would support that. Like the blind guy I heard on the bus that will support him, even though Robme would surely take away some of his SS benefits. Or the guy next to him that was talking to him clearly not in his right mind who also gets disability and SS benefits that Robme wouldn't hesitate to cut. Or a conservative friend of mine who was in the marines who supports Republicans even though they love slashing entitlements for military personnel. Or some Mexican-Americans I know that would support him because he isn't likely to give any kind of amnesty to anyone including children who were brought here years ago by their parents and know no other way of life.
It is really hard to put into words what kind of people don't just vote against their own interest. I can get over that, but they vote against their children, their families, their friends, and neighbors. Even if you hate Obama, how could you vote for someone that will try their best to eliminate the safety net for millions of people, especially in this economy. It is cruel beyond belief and it is a life and death matter for some people.
