I am a small business owner, also with about five full timers plus a mess of part timers. The idea that I am lazy and looking for a handout just because I am an O supporter is insane! I support O and dems in general because I can do basic math, and as a result see who is passing legislation that helps my business (thanks Obamacare!) and who is actually stealing my money (not poor children on food stamps).

The lazy O supporters is the one RW meme that I saw push back against over and over from moderate, polite dems on FB this election season. Over and over I saw "I don't usually make political posts but, um, I really don't like being called lazy because I voted for Obama. So please don't say that." These are people who NEVER post anything controversial or political. But clearly they were very hurt.
