If you spend all you time talking about Burning Books...

and you lose the election, you could claim the other guy won because he "gave" the book lovers the gift of funding the public library.


I don't think many women voted for Obama because he gave them free birth control.

But that policy's implicit acceptance of birth control as something normal and uncontroversial did garner some votes.

if there was room.... whether or not there was room was something he wanted to decide. He really did watch too much 50's and 60's tv.

They live in such delusion, like Evangelical Christians and Hardcore Catholics, a bubble, really

This idea of the Patriarchial American Family - such BS. Such sexism and such ignorance.

But Romney wanted to give gifts to the rich. He just hadn't figured out that there aren't as many rich people as there are middle class.
