I wouldn't expect someone with this attitude to be bothered with voting..

Ah, well, at least you mentioned that she had a job at one point.

Tell me, does she sit around a computer and contribute over 13,000 postings, to just one political forum, since 2008? Is she that idle?

Some people just plain can't be saved. You can hope she will grow up and come to her senses, but she has to do it on her time with her own personal life experiences.

I know it pains you to have to admit it, but there are people of all political stripes who game the system--even (gasp!) Republicans.

And I have conservative relatives doing far worse then what you are talking about your family member doing.

The thing is, regardless of political party, there are a lot of morons on both sides.

Their political views have nothing to do with it.

Ha ha....hilarious. This is EXACTLY what I was going to say! You stole my thunder.

Now, since you already said it, I'll agree that there are just some people in the world who don't understand, nor do they want o understand, what personal responsibility, hard work, and good decisionmaking means. Hard to change that way of thinking.

I have a lazy, hick cousin. I love him, but he grates on my nerves. He is a fundamentalist Christinan. He was completely different when we were growing up. Now he spends all of his time going to Church and watching Fox news. He has not worked on a job for more than a year at a time. He blames Obama because he has no money, when the fact is that he is just too lazy to work.
