Myself I voted for the Constitution Party but I must admit the forming suicide / mass migration pacts forming on DU are too funny to describe. The latest is the Breakup of families over politics.
If it was not true it would be funny, aww hell its still funny..
We used to have a gag-rule on politics, but that went out the window when my mother asked if I was going to congratulate her on the Asshole Bush's victory. This led to a 40 minute argument which climaxed with me severing the ties. I'm shaking with anger and yet I feel liberated. This has been brewing for the past four years and has become especially hot over the last 6 months to the point where I want no more to do with them. I don't know who they are anymore and they definitely don't recognize me. I can't reconcile what they believe, what they sanction by supporting this Fascist reigime, and the fact that we are biologically tied to one another. I believe a person IS what they believe and therefore I no longer want myself, my 13 month old daughter, or my wife exposed to the Republican doctrine of hate simply because I am related to them. I wouldn't want anything to do with STRANGERS who support this administration and just because they're my parents doesn't change that for me.
My mother used to be a dem. Then she started listening to rush & I could see changes in her within a few months. Over the years I've listened to her spew & wonder who the hell has possessed my mother. The past 2 years she listens only to fox, rush & o'riely & I don't even recognize the woman who raised me. She has been strangely silent since Nov 2 & I'm not about to reach out to her
I read them because my husband and I have been dealing with a similar situation and it is really sad and depressing. The basic situation in most of these cases seems to be that the people who are the Bush supporters have changed personalities and are acting out towards their relatives who are Democrats or liberals with aggressively belligerent, callous and disrespectful attitudes.
Of course we all expect this attitude from our relatives, it's completely normal! But people say things like Qst4Q is saying here, like "Who ARE these people! What kind of values are these?"
It sounds like what we read about the civil war and it's the one thing that makes me wonder if we could actually be heading toward some kind of direction like that.
I'm cutting my ties with any and all repuke friends, including my extended family. My mother and grandparents are liberal democrats, thankfully, the rest of them can go to hell. I never had good relations with them anyway. I call on everyone to make very careful choices when it comes to associates, their influence is dangerous.
Die already. I'll buy the rope, bullets whatever.
Little blue people ... in their little blue states.
They want a civil war? Who has all the guns?
Awww...poor little silly liberal. Her parents are naturalized...because they probably had firsthand knowledge of the dangers of socialism/communism.
once again it is plain , people are indeed the source of the majority of our own suffering
These people are in serious need of a labotomy. By reading the comments I can tell that it isn't the other family members with the problems, no matter the political affiliation. But then again, liberalsim is a mental disease.
With their need for little blue pills....
Going to feel hungry here shortly.
The hate and total meltdown on that site is actually pretty scary... Had Bush lost I think you would have seen people sad here... but no one would be mentally breaking down....
These guys need a religion to help them through the tough times...
and "all the men"? Thanks, Laura Ingraham....
who, by the way, was MAGNIFICENT the last few weeks.....
It's not funny. It's pathetic. The mom needs to listen to Michael Savage instead of O'Reilly and then she'll be okay. Rush would like to see this one, I bet.
Yea I love her show, makes the drive to work bearable.. I missed her the day after eleciton day bacause the wife was very sick..
Dude! it's your mom for christ sake, get over it.
someone send them a giftbasket or something.
I'm sure they can swap enough medication between themselves to overcome a whole 1 day of living together. Prozac, rit, lith, etc... all those pop drugs taken for fake diseases made up by parents who won't parent, teachers who won't teach, and doctors who are either scared not to prescribe something due to malpractice attorneys or they need to validate their absurd chosen specialty called "psychiatry" by pretending junior has a disease if he shows any interest in girls and wants to grow up to be a man someday who relies on NOBODY to look out for himself.
This chick is really in need of psychotherapy. The left has become a dangerous cult, with the followers cutting off ties with the family and anyone else that does not share their "religion". Jim Jones on the horizon!
Hall of Mirrors?
