When will some voters stop voting against their interests?

Gay Republicans still pouring their hope, money and energy into the party that hates them



Log Cabin Republicans are positive their party will come around on civil rights sometime in the 21st century.

It's plainly obvious that no matter how much on the right side of the issues Democrats are, from civil rights to economic issues, some voters will never come around.

It happened in WI, and some voters never learn.

that Republicans are out there lying their asses off. When people know the true Republican agenda, know they will be negatively impacted by these policies, and still support them, it becomes WTF?
