OMG! You poor woman!
Isshhhh... I actually have relatives in Nevada that are voting for her- mainly because they want Reid out. One of them (we were arguing on the phone- I called all of my GOP relatives for "a talk") actually said, Oh hell, I know she's an idiot, but I want Reid gone"! This is what we are dealing with!! We'll just vote her out in 6 years."
I was stunned. This goes right along with the GOP having nothing but beating Obama in 2011 and not a care in the world about our country and just how scared and hurt our citizens are. I don't believe I have ever been as disturbed with politics as I am right now, not in all the years I have been a voter (age 21, couldn't at age 18- wasn't passed yet). I feel like so much of what I am countless others stood and worked for throughout the 60's and 70's (beyond, really) with the Vietnam War, Civil Rights and the Woman's Movement and onto early Gay & lesbian rights (now the issues for all Queers) has been in vein. It feels like losing a child, so deep.
I know I will regain hope as I found the spark during Obama's election, but, I am concerned about the lack of outrage and activism we have now during these mid-term elections. They are critical and it seems that people are just not doing anything to stop the madness.
There has to be less splintering and more cohesion among liberal, progressive and moderate voters to do anything about the whacko ultra conservative tide.
