Obama Voter Now Supports Ron Paul
This guy’s enhanced clarity resonates with me. I didn’t vote for him (I’m pretty sure I had decided by that point in my life that I was done with voting), but I remember really really hoping late on election night, 2000 that George W. Bush would beat Gore. You know why? I didn’t know (or […]
