what's especially sad is when this statement is coming from someone that works for minimum wage (or something pretty darn close) at walmart (or any other non union rethug owned company) and lives in alabama (or any number of the deep red south or mid west even) and is a female (although it is just as sad when it is a male only more shocking when it is female).

Two things come to mind when I hear some one describe themselves as a republican; 1. Unless you make close to a million dollars a year or more you probably are watching way to much faux noise and really should step out into reality because you are voting against your own best interest. 2. Victimized angry racist.

I also tend to end the conversation as fast as I can. And I also tend to never take anything else that, that person might say afterwords on every matter with a grain of salt. Their thoughts and reasoning become extremly questionable.
