I asked you a simple question. There's no reason to take that tone with me.

Where do you get that I support Democrats over Republicans?
The first time I voted was in 2008 and I voted for the Green Party.
In my state, you only have a choice between democrats and republicans when it comes to state positions and as a lesbian in the south, I'd be screwing myself over if I voted for a Republican.

I knew lots of conservatives during the election who didn't particularly care for McCain or Palin and maybe did like what some of the other candidates had to say but still gave McCain the vote because they didn't want to throw it away and sway things to much in Obama's direction.
I entered the booth and grasped my nose between thumb and forefinger and voted against Obama which had to be McCain. Is that what you meant?

It was hard to vote for McCain but there really wasn't any other choice. A vote for Obama in Kansas would be like a vote for a Libertarian. I like being in the majority.

Excuse me. I didn't look at who I fired that question at. I don't think of you as stupid enough to get questions like that. Sorry.
