You are more important than the republican talking points.

Weren't you already voting for our President?

I thought it was cute.

maybe out ordering his pizza?

Where on earth did you get that???

My husband is a republican so even though he voted for Obama the first time I am having to work on him this time.

he learns how batshit crazy the Repigs are, comes to his senses pretty quickly. If you'rei in the mood to tease him, you might tell him that he's now a "swing" voter (between crazy and sane

Sorry if I confused you. It wasn't my intention.

It was a wierd day at work....I was a bit confused.

but that doesn't represent the general population. It's very important that we remember that. Most people can be reasoned with.

This is why when I see stupid right-wing arguments on places like FB, I often respond with cites or poke holes in their logic. It's not because I think I can sway them. It's because I think that I may be able to sway others who are also reading what they're saying.

Don't give up on reasoning with your Republican friends and family.

He's been there through good and bad with you. I think health issues period would strike a chord with anyone who has had to deal with them... and the health issues that one has to deal with personally are the ones that are closest to our hearts.

Congrats on surviving breast cancer. Congrats for having a wonderful family.

This is an important election, no doubt about it. I am also convinced Obama's plans are better for America overall. I would *love* for Romney to get less electoral votes than Mondale. I don't think that is going to happen though.

The more important thing than any of this IMO is family. Whilst there is no such thing as a "perfect family", it seems to me yours is filled with love. Meeting the fundamental basics - food, clothing, shelter, health, and security is an extremely close second. The Republican plan eats away at three of these five fundamentals. This threatens families. I will not stand for people eating away at the basics of life. If things turn extremely ugly I am fortunate that my family have an immediate "way out" to anywhere in the EU - but until then I'm going to do my little bit to keep America strong and fulfil my Bible verse in life (Luke 10:27)

All the best, Mark.

i have a lady friend who is deep seated republican but is voting for obama as she is fed up with the deadlock in congress. this is incuraging

Sounds like he is seeing the light. I really think the women's healthcare issue is going to be key in this election and Obama is excellent in this regard. I know a middle-aged woman, formerly a McCain-Palin voter, who told me she is 100% for Obama because she is so sick of the GOP assault on women's rights.

not the republican stuff...the love stuff.



Thank you for sharing.

But I was on my way out when I married ChickMagic in April 2000. My last GOP vote was cast that year for John McCain in the primary, and that was it.

Ginny was so patient with me. She was delighted when I finally turned Democratic in 2003.

I think that my husband is much more Democratic than he admits. He is a very smart man and that does not match up with the nonsense of the Republican party. I dont know if he will ever admit out loud that he agrees with me, I think he has more fun getting me worked up! LOL! But when all is said and done he knows what is right and would never vote for any of these rethuglicans!

I have to keep believing that.

There are, however, certain exceptions...
