Yay, Alison! I was horrified when I read about that incident and angry when it wasn’t reported. Graham’s quote is just beyond belief. We ARE the bosses. Who do these old white guys think they’re working for?

Obama-Biden 2012. We’re taking our country FORWARD!

We are going to vote this coming Tuesday, on the provincial level. I have yet to find the party I am very curious about the outcome…

Good grief! Have these people no sense of decency? Of course I will vote! But California is not a swing state.

As for bosses, I’ve had good ones and bad ones. I prefer the good. They get more and better work out of their employees.

how sad that this “enough angry white guys” comment is the new face of the GOP — they seem to have been over run by the haters

I hope we survive it

Oh gosh. Just the other day I’d told someone that I’m glad no one remembers what it was like to be a petite young woman in the fire service in 1989. I’m glad we were such good trail blazers that even the guys now take it for granted that women can do what they do… maybe even better.

This just makes me cry. Really.

Oh. My. “Only stupid people are mechanics”–???? Well. I’ve heard my share of silly comments in the 22 years I’ve been a copier/fax/printer repair technician……yes that would be an office machine mechanic. But never quite that blatantly rude. Since I’m a field tech, and cover a wide territory, I still get an occasional “you sure you know how to put it back together?” and “we’ve never had a lady copier repairman!” Yes. True.

So. Yes! Vote! Vote for those that aren’t trying to find more angry white men. Nothing against men. Or white men. Or even angry white men. Our country just doesn’t need to be governed by a party of them.

I heard there was a rumor about the peanuts, but this is the first I’ve heard that it was verified. I wish it hadn’t happened, but I’m glad to know the truth of it. Thanks.

I have a good boss, and he’s also my brother. It feels too good to be true.

Unfortunately there are idiots in both parties, a lot of democratic responses have been just as bad. Why can’t people be decent to each other? I dislike politics.

as a single mother in Idaho, i never had the luxury of leaving a miserable position. i was finally fired from several jobs because they wanted me OUT and i stubbornly wouldnt quit a job i desperately needed. now that i’m married, i still had that same mind-set and stayed too long in an abusive job in 2008. they finally fired me (and were found by the state to have done it illegally) and it was one of the happiest days of my life.

Such behavior makes me so sad. That we can not see all people as human beings, of value and worth being treated as such.
Oh yes, we will vote, and encourage others to do so. But the state of our society is so sad.
Glad for the bits of bright light that remain!

Mitt’s campaign said it themselves. “We’re not going to let our campaign be dictated by fact-checkers.” As reported on the ABC news website: http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/08/president-obama-quotes-romney-pollster-dismissing-fact-checkers/

Not that the Democrats (or other minor parties) don’t cherry pick facts to support their positions, but I see so much more deliberate denial of fact and outright lying from the angry white men.
