All is not lost
I had a political discussion today with someone at work whom I've always considered to be pretty right wing (and she admitted as much). She is totally pissed at republicons for blocking ratification of the arms treaty with Russia, for blocking extension of unemployment benefits, for blockig the equal pay act, and for basically trying to shut down government and make the President look bad. If anyone knew this person they'd be floored at the transformation. It seems that the reicht wing antics are backfiring, so I'm hopeful for 2012 - everyone keep fighting.

would listen or even freaking HINT that they could change their minds.
Its a bit bloody late in the game to figure out they have been fooled.
Sorry, I Am bitter after hearing the bullshit excuses about why they voted for the Rs a few weeks ago. Namely the tea people.
I apologize for my frustration, when you have been at it for so many years and you meet the same Ideas for years and years.
