According to some callers to talk radio, a lot of the cops and firemen have gone over to Barry’s Dark Side because of the way Republicans have been treating their union thug bosses.
"Don't touch Social Security! I paid into it! I want what they owe me!"
"Don't touch Medicare! My wife has a medical condition!"
"Don't touch government union jobs! My brother-in-law is a cop!"
I want government to be a lot smaller. I stand a good chance of suffering if that happens; it would personally affect me. I say Bring it on. I'm not afraid of change, of suffering, or death. I know what is right, and I will embrace it no matter the cost.
Or when they are faced with a choice of a constitutionalist, pro-life, genuine conservative republican nominee for senator they vote for lisa murkowski (write in candidate) because she can bring home the bacon. I saw it happen first hand in Alaska and it has reshaped the whole of my thinking about the republican party. I know personally people who are rabid pro-life, home school, republican anti-obama etc who went all in for murkowski. AK is lost I am afraid.
