fortyninethousand322 Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 I had friends who told me they were voting Romney, even though he belongs to a party that denies gays the rights to vote, won't shut up about how women shouldn't be allowed abortions even in the case of rape, how women should really stop complaining about rape anyway because God meant for it to happen, who call women that take birth control pills "whores" and demand that contraception not be covered under health insurance plans (even though Viagra is), and who still won't shut up about how Obama wasn't born in America and is totally a Muslim Communist Socialist. In other words, if my friends are voting for Romney, who espouses these points, they must have absolutely no respect for my sexual health, the rights of consenting adults, and, ya know, facts (Communist Socialist. Someone please, please, explain how that works.) Since I am try not to be friends with idiots, I drop them as well. I had someone tell me he was a "secret muslin" like the cloth. I'm not voting for Romney, but if I were it wouldn't necessarily be because of abortion, gay marriage, etc. There are people who believe that he actually would cut spending, simplify the tax code, and repeal many regulations that are hurting the economy (personally I don't think he would do any of this). And then there are those who think (delusionally IMO) that Obama is too much of a dove and that Romney would make the country safer. It's not all about the culture war.
