19. "For the first time in her life, at age 50, she voted and exercised her conservative leanings."

Definitely the "something for nothing" crowd as KO calls them.

Bitch never voted in the 32 years she was eligible and now she wants to talk about how we're "going down a dangerous path", and "heading into a socialistic system here".

The article goes on to say what got her interested in politics was

< article >
the rant by CNBC's Rick Santelli in February 2009 expressing outrage over an Obama administration policy to help distressed homeowners, even if they had bought more house than they could actually afford. The rant went viral on the Internet, where it was embraced by conservatives and derided by liberals as political theater. < / article >

I am thinking it was probably an e-mail forward that put that meme of the "overspending poor" into a racist context.

Because you know all the problems in America are caused by the poor who only have 1% of the wealth and not the top 2% who have the rest :sarcasm:
