That woman reminds me if a recent conversation my BFF had at the salon. The woman she was talking to, born here, but from a Mexican immigrant family, said she was voting for Romney because "he is for Israel and the Bible says God tells us to support Israel."
Let him do his thing, and then you get him out. No messing with him for laughs.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
That's so depressing, Stephanie.

And Liese, I'm sure you know, but 501(c)(3) can have political views, just not endorse candidates or lobby on specific bills, generally.
Yeah, I know. I was unclear. I was saying, I, personally, don't even tread on things that are legal, much less things that are not. I like my tax exempt status!

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I have no business deciding that [person A] should vote for a candidate because they are a member of [demographic group, often minority]. But I admit I am genuinely shocked at gay people who are voting for Romney. Or people of any color other than paper white. Or women.
Yeah, I know I said I have no business deciding that, and I did it anyway.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Heh. Yes.

Oh, sure -- Four years ago, my very socially liberal Modern Othodox Jewish coworker was seriously considering McCain because of Israel.

I mean, I can sort of understand single-issue voting, but am still slightly mind-boggled when your single issue is abroad.

Technically my single issue is abroad: warfare, but it's being carried out by my students in poverty, so it's a personal domestic issue as well.

Totally.

In ridiculous news, ads that say Nashville is "Wednesday's #1 new drama" actually aren't all that compelling. How many more new dramas could there be on Wednesday??

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
