I don't get it.

Found out today that my BIL is voting for Romney tomorrow.

I'm somewhat used to that because he has never seen reason in the 30 years Ive known him.

What I didn't realize is that his son, daughter and wife are voting Romney also, because "Dad" told them too.

UGH! Why can't people think for themselves? You want to vote for Romney, at least have a personal reason as to why.

I'm a true blue Masshole.

That's why it bugs me so much. We're supposed to be past this king of the household shit.
I didn't expect this coming from here.

Nov 2012

He was quoted as saying, "There is no reason for any intelligent person in this country to vote for Obama."

The reporter then asked him why he is voting Romney. He didn't answer, then proceeded to rail against Obama's *failure*, more people on food stamps, national debt, ect, ...all the untrue Fox talking points.

These people know deep down that President Obama is the better man. Some of them are so clueless about Romney and his plans for the country, although how could they know? They don't read.
