Why would anyone do such a thing?
After voting earlier today me and my 9yr old daughter volunteered to hold up signs next to our polling place (this was a first for me). We loved the honks,waves and thumbs up we received - but I was taken a back by the number of people who had no problem giving a 9yr old the finger. This was in New Hampshire!!!!

3. Doesn't surprise me.
A friend was holding up signs the other day in support of "No on 8." He said he was called "faggot" at least 30 times. This is in Santa Rosa, CA. You can't get any bluer than here.

4. Oh no that doesn't surprise me ONE bit.
But I live in Texas. Republicans here wouldn't care about making children cry over their parents' political views.

5. Repukes actually never ASK 'why would anyone do such a thing', unless of course
it's some horrible liberal behavior. They feel free to be pompous assholes and then think of themselves as 'right'.

6. Last week
I saw a lady in a McDonald's drive-thru tell the drive-through guy to "take my order and shove it up your ass"...with a 5 year old in the back seat.

Not political, but still...
