At one point she asks why anyone would want to be a Republican. I respond, look in the mirror. She also says that Republicans almost killed her? I think she was suicidal -- possibly, and with all this talk of "a spirit" that Barack Obama has, I think she believes in auras and positive and negative vibes in the truest New Age way. So her being suicidal during Bush's presidency is (in her mind's eye -- I am sure) his fault as well as all the "negative" Republicans in the world.
