What do your moderate friends think now that we’ve had 3+ years of the communist?
Haven’t spoken to them. They moved to Palm Springs about two years ago. They are a gay couple (opposed to gay marriage, though - they think the idea is stupid). One of them was a big Reagan supporter in the 80’s, and still speaks fondly of RR.
They were big Hillary supporters in 2008 and absolutely despised Obama. They knew he was a con-artist. They liked John McCain, and really admired Cindy McCain for her philanthropic work, and they were all set to vote for McCain until he picked Palin. I think they actually ended up sitting the election out.
The reason they moved to Palm Springs is because their store that they had for over 20 years went under. So I suspect that they are not enjoying the Obama years very much.
