    @gala

    There obviously IS no measurable vote for Nobama. Klytus/Jefferson/payne, ad nauseum was asked the same question for months and predictably all it did was spew profanity and venom. A true Gollum but with a lower iq.

    It and the other frothing idiots are too ignorant to realize their zealotry and intolerance and out of mainstream postions are what drove one constituency after another out of the Dem party.

    This time they've driven out single working women and it's dead and it's NOT coming back.

    Given that the GOP will now have a permanent lock on EVERYTHING in the country for the rest of our lives, you'd think these geese would at least be smart enough not to be threatening revolutions and civil wars online. (they ARE sooooooo pathetic). And as if they're leaving the country would be a loss. LOL.
