but some like Obama, and none like Romney.

One of my facebook friends is an advocate for voting for Aliester Crowely, a dead, British occultist.

the rabid rong wing whackos. I think there are 3 or 4 who are not whackos so they can stay. 90% are liberal Democrats.

Still, it's grown, and when I posted my reaction to Mitt's 47% remarks, I got a flood of 'Likes.'

The BEST, for me, was a comment from my niece, whom I've never known to be political (even though she's married to a Navy vet who served on the Enterprise in the Gulf). She posted:

Well said, Uncle pinboy!


Made my day!

My FB post was what I posted here in GD:

I am no one you know, and I've been away from DU for a short while due to life itself.. after reading this link, you make me want to get up in the morning and fight. Yet again.

And I will.

Thank you, pinboy.

We all have times like that, so don't feel like the Lone Ranger, lol. The important thing is that we always come back and we keep fighting the good fight.

Here is another link I think you'll like...

I have one Romney fan, who actually likes Romney, and who has posted positive things about Romney. I also have a handful of Obama haters, but only ONE has said anything positive about Rmoney.

Yes, one.

She's a person I knew as a young child. I reconnected with another friend who is still friends with this one, and she wanted the two of us to be FB friends. I quickly remembered disliking this girl as a child (she was a little snot, in short), and things haven't changed much.

My offhand impression is that the numbers break 60/30/10, more or less. (The 10 being Ron Paul supporters.) I have noticed that most, including me, are starting to burn out with the political posts. It's like a mutually undeclared cease fire.
