Reply #11: I don't understand why people don't get this kind of stuff until it effects them so directly.

I guess that is not unusual though, I mean, just look around here. Still, I don't get why it is so necessary for people to run into the brick wall themselves before they figure it out. I'm not talking about Republicans. I expect them to be clueless. It is the Obama supporters who get turned abruptly enough that they turn "hope" into "nope" on their bumper stickers. But, apparently, they aren't that rare as we can see from DU.

Even though I don't get that, I sincerely appreciate her willingness to write this article and share her story. I guess if you can get turned one way, you can get turned back again. :)
