I am confused by the polls showing...sm
Posted: Oct 30, 2010
Americans flocking to vote out the Democrats but when questioned about the issues mostly agree with the Democratic party platform, not extending tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans, financial reform, etc. I could not believe my neighbor saying he was voting for a Tea Party candidate because he is mad at Obama for not going far enough with healthcare and having a public option. Huh? If that isn't "cutting off your nose to spite your face" I don't know what is. I can't help but think that this narrow minded thinking will come back to bite people in the hind end.

Well...that is your neighbor. - sm
[ In Reply To ..]Most people voting against Obama and the democrats are conservative people who feel government is spending way too much money and that government has too much control over things it shouldn't control at all. The biggest concern is fiscal responsibility and as much as democrats want to point the finger at Bush....democrats have yet to demonstrate that they are any better handling our money. If your neighbor is for a more left leaning government, he is shooting himself in the foot by voting republican. However, your neighbor's ingorance will help us get democrats out of Washington and that makes me happy. ;)

The breakdown is hard to follow here, but it's one of the polls in favor of keeping OCARE and/or improving it. Predictably it runs along partisan lines - 6 in 10 Repubs with a thumbsdown.

My Ex Insists On Showing Up To Our Daughter's Ball GamesJun 12, 2017
drunk and unbearably obnoxious. When he is sober, he is a complete ass. So add alcohol to that and it's awful. He is loud, overly animated (throwing himself back in the bleachers, banging his fist on the bleachers, etc), arguing with umps, criticizing the coach, and making snide comments about other players. I don't/won't sit anywhere near him, but I feel awful that the other parents are having to put up with him and I feel sick that my daughter has to suff ...
