11. I've heard of self-loathing

but this takes the effin' cake.

I can't believe, let enough understand, how it is that people would actually be able to bring themselves to cast a ballot for the same rethug cretins who would just as soon see every GLBT person in the world strung over a barbwire fence like Matthew Shephard. I wouldn't even be able to muster enough concern to even spit on these hateful asshats politicos if they were on fire. It just boggles my mind that roughly half of the population of the United States can reconcile themselves to the fact that they repeatedly make decisions and vote for people that are openly and notoriously against their own personal and economic self-interests.
