Reply #15: Yes, it's very painful, and I've said the same thing face-to-face to people.

I'm poor, I'm homeless, and I cannot be friends with people who are voting for the very things that are causing my distress.

NOW.. to be fair, liberals don't give much of a shit about homelessness, either, so it's not fair to blame it all on Rs. I say the same thing to them... if you can't care about me and others like me, then don't expect me to care about your damned war, either.

Just the other day, I said to a woman who has been very supportive and caring of me that I can't be friends with Republicans. She smiled and said she's a Republican (which I had kinda guessed), and I told her that she needed to be aware that the very things she's seeing causing me pain is what she has voted for.

At the same time, she's more caring of me than liberals around here, so go figure.
