I don't get it, I really don't. The fiscal conservative train left the Republican party years ago, when they traded away the National Debt for the failed attempt at trickle-down economics. Pres. Clinton left a far better financial portfolio than any of the 'fiscal conservatives,' and didn't openly hate us. FDR was another Democrat that had to take the country out of a depression following the fiscal meanderings of a Republican.
Sometimes I do question whether ideologues ever get beyond the textbook before voting. Or perhaps we, as a people, are just too damn filled with self-interest to vote for something beyond our bank balance.
i know 2 gays who voted mc-cain, and worse they live in new york,- its like HUH one is way rich the other, thinks it gives him some sort of superiority to the rest of us- read ASSHOLE
my other thought was, was this an orchestrated effort to manipulate exit polls, so the republicans can be like look we are not that right wing!!, whcih they can use in selective campaigning and get donations, (oviously from dumb-gays!
its always the same, people vote against their best interests, oh i lost my job, my house and all my 401k, but i'll vote mc cain cause you know i'm a republican!- even if they screw me!
no, honey, they are rich! that's why they vote republican.
ReplyDeleteI'm stunned by this. This is the problem that I always end up having with people who are socially progressive, but fiscally conservative.
ReplyDeletefuckers.

ReplyDeleteThe comparison I always make, at the risk of Godwining myself, is to the Jews in the thirties who protested that they were German first.
ReplyDeleteThe GOP culture warriors would put us all in the same boxcars. Tell me they wouldn't if they could get away with it.
count me as one of the "idiots". as fopr the comparision to jews in the 30s. nobody is rounding up gays for the camps
ReplyDelete. . . yet
ReplyDeleteI don't understand gay or black Republicans.
ReplyDeletethe sample size was only 68 glbt people! It's hardly scientific, but because CNN reports it, everyone just believes it.
ReplyDeleteThose 27% must have been the self-loathing gays.
