As I have stated in some comments I USED to be a republican with independent leanings. Yes I am still trying to pay pennance for THAT sin, and will continue to do so as I have seen the error of my ways (which only took me to be surrounded by repugs and once there gaurd was down, shown their true ugly colors)
Anyways, how can I make such a statement as I did in my title?
Something AMAZING ....so jump beyond the orange fold :)
I saw something that if I was Christian (I'm not) would almost make me think was an Easter miracle. My wife (Roman Catholic) has always been registered as CONSERVATIVE. Not even republican, but conservative. So maybe the following IS an Easter miracle :)
I have been trying to broach with her my feelings as to why I can no longer support the repugs. Before some readers dismiss this lightly, I would ask how you would feel if your spouse one day decided she/he was going to start supporting the repug party.
Anyways, I have been talking to her about the repugs war on women. She doesn't watch much news (not even FOX as she describes herself as a conservative). Anyways, I got her to stumble upon some of the more disgusting crap swewed by the repugs on this topic.
TALK ABOUT FURIOUS!
When she saw a particular Republican woman senator call out the repugs on it, she started to open her eyes just a bit.
After she watched numerous videos, she finally watched Obama's response.
SHE SAID SOMETHING NICE ABOUT HIM!
From a Conservative Roman Catholic who has called him the Anti-Christ, she said something NICE about Obama.
She now thinks both parties stink.
I know this isn't exactly a ringing endorsement, but if the repugs can make my wife (a devout Roman Catholic who registered conservative) behave so horribly that my wife can say something nice about Obama, then I think it is only a matter of time before the repugs self destruct.
Every journey from the dark side to the light begins with one small step.
