The usual stuff,
Barak Obama caused the deficit,
Barak Obama is cutting Medicare and throwing seniors off the rolls,
The democrat is going to support Obamas policies.
I probably used the word "Bullshit" about 10 times when she asked me questions.
Even if I had no feelings, I said I strongly agreed that I was going to vote for the democrat.

Note: I only have a cell phone.
