BFD, she managed to get her own husband to agree to vote for Obama again, but he may have been telling her what she wanted to hear just to shut her up:

Hallelujah! I made a breakthrough with my Republican husband!!
Last edited Tue Aug 14, 2012, 06:24 PM USA/ET - Edit history (1)

Actually he isn't that hard core, I think he actually voted for President Obama (although one never knows what happens in the voting booth)

He isn't really "political" but is Republican because his father is and just says ignorant things like "the Democrats want to pay people not to work bla bla meme meme meme" but last night I got through his thick republican skull.

I will preface this by saying. My husband and I are crazy in love. We have been together since we were 18, we are 46 now, married for 20 years and more in love every day. I almost died when we had our second child and I am three years out from having breast cancer. So women's health issues strike a serious chord with him.

Normally, he doesn't answer the phone, I don't like to either, we figure that is why we have children so we never have to answer the phone or clear the table again  Occasionally, when I do answer the phone I get the Republican surveys or the odd republican phone call which I have fun with. He normally just has no interest talking to anyone anyway.

Anyway, I sat down with him and talked to him about Paul Ryan's stand on Person-hood for zygotes, and not saving the life of the mother and no birth control, and he just sat there listened and then said to me in his normal very soft spoken voice, "The next time the republicans call, I want to talk to them!"

I know he realizes this election is about much more than tax policy now. This is about the lives of women, and it is more important than ever that these people not get in to office!!!!

You know, we really need a smiley that looks like a bouncing ball.

Is there some sort of directory or encyclopedia of smileys on the internet, where one can grab one for here?

I have a feeling there's going to be a great need for one the next 81 days.

They love saying zygote, and fetus, like they will grow into something other than human.
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

I imagine they feel the same way about "zygotes" as they do blowing a booger into a napkin.

She nagged her poor husband until he told her what she wanted to hear.

He basically just shut her up.

To me, that looks like a frog, though.

But if that's all we got, I guess it'll do, and I'm happy.

That's exactly what he did.  I think if you ran the whole:  "We are more in love..blah, blah,..(BS)....by hubby, you would get a big eyeroll.

Definitely, a bouncy.

In the last ten years, I have gotten exactly zero phone calls from Republicans and zero from (D)Ullardcrats.  I have been phone polled once in the last eight years.

Pffft....crap.

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.

Nope.  Just servants to clear the table after evening gruel and answer the phone.

After they are zygotes, of course.

She really should listen to her ignorant FIL because I don't think this Obama presidency is working out well for her.  Just sayin'.

Sorry to bug you I am having a really tough night

I am still unemployed and having a more difficult time even finding the required four things to apply for each week. I am now looking in to the gaping maw that is the holidays coming toward me and I will not be able to do anything for my kids. They are 17 and 13 and they totally understand, its me that this is killing. A friend of mine has come through with a two day a week odd jobs kind of thing I can do that may keep my lights on so I guess that is one good thing. I am starting to think that my time as a professional with an office and a decent income are behind me and I am going to have to go back to being in retail like back in college, I really feel like shit. I have been out of work for over four months. To some people that doesn't sound like much time but I am losing who I am and feeling worse every day I go without work.

My brother is going in to brigham and women's hospital tomorrow to have the golf ball sized cyst in his brain looked at. I am terrified for him. He has two young boys one is 4 and 1 is 1 1/2 He is scared to death and I am trying to make him feel better.

I am trying to make jewelry to sell but I am losing confidence in that too. I am going to have to figure out how to do it on line and the website will have to be free-something else that is overwhelming.

I cant afford to get the kids school clothes or haircuts. I haven't had a haircut in four months and look like shit. I just want to crawl under the bed and hide.

They like the word zygote because it sort of sounds like cyborg, which to say, not human.   She sure sounds down-and-out in that post that Shadeaux posted; you would think she'd have bigger fish to fry than "Person hood for zygotes."

She can't afford to dress her children, or pay for a $10 cut at Supercuts, but she has landline and internet.  She's horrified at the prospect of working retail.  Well, boohoo.  Go ask your messiah why he's demonized business to the point that nobody wants to open one.

Soooo Robyn sold her weak-minded husband a bunch of lying talking points that her feeble mind bought? Assuming of course this actually happened.  ::)

BTW, Robyn...I wonder if your husband was to go all immoral lib on ya if he would have stood by you through all of your health travails as he has. It's a good thing he's conservative and sees YOUR health as HIS wife as something that is HIS responsibility and didn't leave you to the devices of big government when your health chips were down eh?

***not saying all libs are immoral, but the squishiness of character there would never make me entirely comfortable.

No, no, no BEG...don't you remember how liberals think? :hammer: :-) If they are wanted, then indeed they are people. When they are unwanted they lose all sense of personhood. Funny, I think Hitler thought the same way about Jews didn't he? Unwanted--dehumanized...hmmm

, what is a zygote?



Simple question, right?
“The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.”

Sounds like the light of her life is unemployed or underemployed.
