I have never been a follower. There are those of us that think for ourselves but get shoved into a corner because we're not with the "In" crowd. My step father used to berate and physically abuse me to the point where I have PTSD. Then it stopped. Why, because I learned to hit back. Once that happened he was all mouth, of which I could just ignore.

We have to push back and push back HARD! O's populist rhetoric during his campaign made me think that might happen, then during his acceptance speech he announced he was a "New Democrat", meaning" I'm republican lite.

Ask any banker!

Yeah, that'll happen when you trash a candidate in that candidate's group Scootaloo Apr 2015 #1

Yeah except for I wasn't really trashing her. Phlem Apr 2015 #3

Well.... sheshe2 Apr 2015 #68

Nope, it happens when you ask a poster a question. It has nothing to do with "support"... tridim Apr 2015 #14

I am so sorry for your loss. The Hillary Clinton room IS for her supporters. leftofcool Apr 2015 #2
