If you're concerned about "Jobs", you're too poor to vote republican

If you're planning on retiring and receiving Social Security or Medicare, you're too poor to even think about voting republican...

If you're a christian why are you voting for the mormon and the guy who idolizes an atheist?

If you've got ten million dollars hidden away offshore somewhere, you'll be fine to vote republican. What, you dont have ten million, you're on Medicare, you worry about the job or housing market? Please for your sake and mine vote Democrat, straight ticket this November.

About how the Kenyan Socialist Muslim is destroying this country.

NEVER received an answer. They just look down to the floor and change the subject. I've even Googled the question and could not find anything. Try it, it's fun to see how they react. I really don't think they ever thought about it.

come up with something. Then I tried it on FB and didn't get even one "oh, yeah, well...." Then when I tried to find something I was shocked that there wasn't anything out there. I still think there must be something they've done, but it's a well kept secret if there is.
