I really am wondering if someone on his staff had actually said, “Mr. President, those people are not to be reasoned with. Take the gloves off.” Had I been on his staff, I would’ve said that, in those exact words. I’m hardly one for mincing them.

The even scarier part is that those people have people who follow them. That’s what chills me to the bone. The “practically” in your scenario is excessive. The Republicans have no concept of how to treat women. None. Their view of women is undoing the past hundred years. I shudder to think of what those people have in mind for women who had tubal ligations and really don’t subscribe to the whole “barefoot and pregnant” ideology that they had cultivated.

I agree with you. The Republican party is *terrifying*. I can’t even imagine what things would be like if they got in there. If people think things are bad now… well, if that happens they haven’t seen nothing yet. Cause everything will really be awful. Women will have practically no rights, again, and people will be working themselves to the bone for even less than what they see now. Meanwhile the rich won’t be paying taxes, but we’ll be overtaxed. That’s honestly the way it seems like the Republicans would take the US if they got it. It’s very frightening.

I will not stand for any of those sociopaths being in power. Seriously. That is what they are, plain and simple. They don’t give a damn about the poor, they don’t give a damn about women, they don’t give a damn about animals, and they don’t give a damn about the world around them. All that matters to them is the almighty dollar, and it doesn’t matter whom they have to drive into a grave to get that dollar. The only even human-resembling person I can think of in that party is Giuliani.

I am honestly terrified for this country if it goes Republican in this election. Few things scare me as much as the Republican Party.

How is that even allowed? It truly makes me sick. I really hope, more than anything, that Obama gets re-elected again. I don’t want to see a single one of those Republican candidates end up in the White House. I’m actually afraid for our country and what will happen to it if even one of them does end up leading it.

And yes, please nudge away! I’ll take all the encouragement I can get. Thanks!

I stand by my story, even with its flaws. It’s my product. If someone wants to devalue it by pretending it’s less than real, then it’s their problem and not mine.
