1. I'm right there with you!

Some days I think there is no way we can pull this out of the crapper. Then I open DU and the first thing I see is that jerk from PA saying how they've succeeded with their plan and voter ID will be what delivers PA for Romney. It just made me sick!

Another thing that really REALLY bothers me is how many friends I have that get so nasty about Obama. I just don't understand how they can reason the way they do. The last time I looked, none of their photos were on the 1% list, and one of them in particular has had to really rely on what Obamacare has had to offer both for his wife and for his daughter. I think there really must be a mental deficiency in these people to think/believe the way they do. It really makes me want to not associate with them, and that's sad. I've been friends with some a short time, but several of them for over 30 years. Never has the meanness come out of them as it has last election and this one so far.

I'm so heartsick thinking about it at times that it brings me to the brink of tears.
