I am shocked that my wife just said this:
Obama is a communist, he goes around the world apologizing and he wants America to be like Europe.
We have been married nearly three years, and although I know she's a Republican, I have never heard her say things like that before. I am appalled every time I hear somebody says those things. I think I am going crazy.

1. please correct her!
ask her to produce evidence
Produce evidence that he isn't a communist, that he hasn't apologized all over the world, and that he doesn't want us to be like Europe.
You can't.

54. I do and she can't!
Here's a tip, if you want to convince her, using DU as a source isn't helpful.

4. Don't let her
vote. I expect by next election that you will be able to turn her into a democrat.
What's a little voter suppression when it's your own spouse?

55. I can't control what she does, nor do I want to!
I believe the first part, the second part you are full of shit, you are itching to control her.

106. I hate to say it...
... but there is a contingent of women who just don't like Obama this cycle. When they can't pin down a criticism, they fall back on one of the tar brushes that they have heard on talk radio, TV, or from water-cooler secretary talk. I've heard women call him a socialist, communist, liar, murdered, terrorist, etc. etc. It's always ad hominem attacks that don't have much basis in with reality, and that more than anything is what I find upsetting - whether Romney wins or loses, there is a contingent of morons ready to line up an support the next charismatic guy to come along, enthrone said person as head of the most powerful military in the world, and set the stage for some really bad history repeating itself!
Like it is hard to pin down a criticism when it comes to 0bama.

32. My husband, after about 10 years and lots of political discussion, finally saw the
light also. I gave him an historical/political education he was badly in need of, seriously.
Sure he did, what really happened was he got sick of all the bellyaching so he said fine I will vote dem from now on, then he goes in the booth and votes for repukes. It's the "yes dear" principle.

8. Pull a Chris Mathews on her: Ask her to define "communist" and watch her sputter. nt

58. I did and she said he wants to redtribute wealth!
I said that was not the definition and Romney want to redistribute wealth - from the poor to the rich.
That isn't the actual definition of communism, but wealth redistribution is a major part of it. And how is Romney going to redistribute wealth from the poor to the rich? Are the poor sitting on piles of cash or something?

113. Well my wife and I have many things in common, many interests are the same and we
always have a lot to talk about other than politics. She has very little interest in politics but has strong opinions that are more like a faith than based on reality.

Yet she isn't fooled by 0bama.

22. Better put a lock on Faux News or your marriage is going to be in trouble.
And they say we want to control women.

83. Thanks. I just wish we could at least talk, but she thinks all my opinions
are based on the "liberal media."
And you think all her opinions are based on Faux Snooze.

86. I am from Europe and never had experience of Republicans
before. I am as shocked today as the first time I ever heard Limbaugh, Beck, or Hannity etc. Where I come from, I just never knew that level of hatred. Those people just don't get media jobs, because very few people tolerate it. I didn't know about it, and had no understanding that they were poisoning the minds of so many Americans. I am sometimes overwhelmed at how nasty things can be here.
You must not read much of DU if you post there and don't like hate.

96. Your slip is showing, and you aren't fooling anyone
You've been a concern troll since you got here... and you just created a fake wife with a fake meme so you could get the words "Obama is a communist" into google searches of DU.
Other here might be naive... but I know what you're up to.

Can't fool the DUmmies, they be smart n stuff.

107. You called me a troll and a liar. That is bullying behavior.
I asked you to provide evidence to support your allegations, because certainly anything I have posted isn't evidence. You have not been able to do so. I expect your next move will be to block me or try to get me banned to save your face. Alternatively, you could do the right thing and apologise. I posted this thread because I have nobody I can talk to about this. I wanted to reach out and share my situation. I am very emotional and would appreciate it if you didn't bully me.
