They are good people but they support these nihilists even while trying to distance themselves from the Tea Party and religious right. They say they don't listen to Rush, Beck or Hannity. They are appalled by La Pierre. But their hatred for taxes and unions impels them to pull the lever for GOP candidates. And they don't want to hear any truth other than what Fox feeds them. They may deserve better but they are complicit in the nastiness that they say they abhor.

I don't even know any Republicans.

I love the huge number of resources on the Internet for getting my news. The fact that FOX went to the
Supreme Court to determine they didn't have to tell the truth would stop me from relying on them...it would be like reading the National Enquirer to find out what's going on!

I don't get it! And I have yet to meet anyone who likes paying taxes! I would rather have a trained union person re-wiring my house or re-plumbing my home, than someone I was paying $9 an hour!

Glad the people you work with distance themselves from the Tea Party and religious right because those people are CRAZY!!!
