who will vote for a candidate based on whether or not they are anti-abortion.

A few years ago, gay people were not even thinking about marriage. They were focusing on other rights, and pushing for things like AIDS research.

Don't get me wrong -- I would like my husband to be able to walk our daughter down the aisle when she marries her partner. Gays should have the right to marry, and they should have it now, not in some idyllic future.

But we are talking about basic survival here. I think shrub and his minions would like to see gays in ovens, women at home having baby after baby, and all working people flipping burgers for minimum wage, or dying in one of his endless wars.

Four more years of shrub will usher in these things. It may bring a depression that will dwarf the one my parents saw in the thirties. It may also bring unrest and battles in the streets, with many, many casualties.

I would like a job. I think I have earned the right to work, like anyone else. But my unemployment pales in the face of what will be coming if we have four more years of shrub. Remember, four more years of him will be only the beginning.

Help us, and we will help you. ABB!
