It's unreal. A good bit of the right wingers are making the stand against homosexuality the biggest part of their platform. And some are stating it is the biggest threat to our 'way of life', bigger than, you know, the fact that 40% of Americans have no health insurance and the economy tanks and most of us are one medical crisis away from financial disaster.

I work for several clinics. The one run by Tea Partiers give no benefits, pay me on commission only, cut the staff's hours when things are slow (leading their clients to go elsewhere because they're not bloody *open*) and have the worst morale of any place I've been--ever. God help us if the Tea Partiers get in charge. I had to insist they turn off the talk radio while I was there, claiming it was distracting while I was trying to write notes. It *is* distracting--I was grinding my teeth the entire time I was there.
