5. I would ask this question

of those laid off: For whom did you vote?

To those who voted for Kerry: you have my sincere sympathy and I wish you best of luck in finding re-training so you can get on with your lives. And would recommend DU as a place to talk to people who may have some good ideas for you.

To Asshat voters: Tough shit! Eat your Bible.
