I went to the hairdresser Saturday
he's about fifty, with three young sons, and I've been going to him for about fifteen years.

Four years ago, he told me that he was going to vote for Bush because as a businessman he wanted the candidate who would be "good for business."

Saturday, he insisted he never said anything of the sort, that Bush was a F******g B*****d, and he would definitely vote for Obama.

He said that Bush had ruined the economy and his sons were going to be stuck with a huge deficit, among other things.

I wonder how many others are denying their 2000 and 2004 votes.

4. That's what I'm hoping. The bottom line of your business doesn't lie, and

you can't ignore it.

My hairdresser, while in no danger of voting McCain, has told me several times about the downturn in her business. When people's money gets tight, the luxuries start to go. Something eventually has to give, and this second term of * caused it to start happening for real.

5. Bush has destroyed thousands of small businesses
He has been a one-man wrecking crew, protecting his big business buddies.

2. I wonder if people like that actually have memories that selective...
Maybe he's really convinced himself he never said such things. It would explain a lot about how well GOP campaign tactics work.

3. My hair stylist said her business is bad
People can't afford perms and families are stretching out the time in between cuts for their kids. This bad economy has affected everyone except the oil companies.
