I can smell the fear
I work at a pretty large company, and its no secret that many of the people who work on my floor are conservatives. They seem pretty frustrated today. Talking in groups about how this country is "making a huge mistake" and rehashing so many of the old poor arguments and lies we've all heard before.

Im just waiting for the heads to start exploding.

11. The memory of those terrible Clinton years must have really scared them.
Let's face it, what these people are really afraid of is another successful Democratic presidency.

And they go around stealing and defacing democrat signs because they are afraid. That's pretty sad.
