This was interesting because even though I'm a registered Republican, I find myself defending Obama and taking s strong Dem stance at work because, frankly, the Republican pov I find batshit crazy on so many levels. Fiscal responsibility, the rights of states above federal laws and letting people get the hell along with their lives without government interference was what the Republicans used to stand for. Those days are long gone. Now, their blindness in the face of facts can only be attributed to greed and stupidity as far as I can see. And religion? Don't get me started. I've heard so many pro Prop 8 arguments at work where the fundamental basis for their pov is "Don't you believe in the Bible?" Uh, no. Particularly when it's used to promote hatred, intolerance and inequality. If this is a cause that makes you proud to be religious, to feel that this cause is worthy of all your effort--that god will be proud of you for hating and ridiculing your fellow humans--you've sold me on not subscribing to religion, period.
So, my results were in the green, two down and five to the left.
