38. NOPE... Comment Was Made After BECK'S "Whatever" In D.C.! Said They
would rather be "for" something rather than "against" something! When asked to verify by others who they once stood with, little answer was given!

It came up in reference to the Oct 2nd Rally and the comment was made that Beck raised 5.5 million, and then the question "how about you?" It was really quite astounding! A COMPLETE turn around from one who once called themselves a LIBERAL!

As for Ron Paul, War and a few other issues, yes I understand Paul's thinking! His son on the other hand is really scary!

But I most certainly can't wrap my head around WHY someone who I KNOW touted LIBERAL views simply flipped and turned to the likes of Beck and Palin!

Witches of EastWick maybe, I just don't know!! I want to again say that I have known this person here on DU and another place since 2004, and just can't wrap my head around it as yet!
