Why is it scary that liberals endorse it? I'm a liberal. I'm also a veteran and worked for over 10 years in Veterans hospitals, have held a job for the past 50 years, have literally saved the lives of other people, do lots of volunteer work, have been married 30 years, have brought up 2 fine children, and I have conservative friends and family. Why am I scary?
