My name is Mary Katherine, and I reside in the state of Ohio. I am a registered Republican. I grew up in a small town with very strict parents, attend church every Sunday, and have generally tried to live a good and decent life. I have been married for 15 years, have 3 children, and I am a stay at home mother. I am personally opposed to abortion, I believe in small government, and I cheered when welfare was overhauled. I am personally opposed to gay marriage, and I deeply believe this country needs to do more about the divorce rate in this country. My father was a steel worker who didn't miss a day of work in 35 years. My mother was a housewife. I still visit them regularly even though they live 5 hours away from me.
I think if you met me on the street or at the supermarket we would probably like each other.
However, everyone on this board hates my guts. I voted for John Kerry, so, therefore, according to you, I am a pig with no values.
I come here, desperately trying to understand why that is.
If you haven't stopped reading by now, maybe I could explain the reasons for my vote.
I am a fiscal conservative. I find W's reckless spending troubling.
I believe in religious freedom in this country. So therefore, just because I personally oppose abortion, how can I expect every American who does not share my faith to abide by that as well?
I believe in the Constitution. Therefore, even though I oppose gay marriage, if the constitution affords gay Americans certain rights, who am I to deny them?
Finally, I do not believe the war in Iraq was executed in the appropriate way. I do not support it in its current form.
So there it is. You all hate me for only one reason - the vote I placed on November 2nd. My only hope is that someday, somehow, you could all have a little less hate for those who don't share your beliefs. Thank you for reading this.
Everyone on this board hates my guts, too.
I get a kick out of it. What the hell is your problem???
Is it still $.10 for the first 5 minutes?
Not true. I've never even seen your guts...
I have no idea
Hey, she's french. Yeah, that's the ticket
The again, there was a country song about someone giving someone else a quarter to call someone who cares. So I guess it's safe to assume it is at least that much or more...
I'm sure you have but didn't realize it.
They are part of the witness protection program and heavily disguised! ;-)
What's puzzling me. In view of your profile: Why?
I don't use them either. I have a cell phone to keep me up to date with today's technology.
Yup. That "personally" is the big giveaway.
That's douplespeak straight from the DNC.
Wait, if all the dems are "personally opposed" to abortion, who are the people getting them?
You voted for WHO??
Tuhrayzuh, is that you?
For your own good Ms 05, like a child throwing a tantrum, you don't deserve to be hated. You do deserve to be ignored.
mk05,
I will assume that you are serious and will respond accordingly.
Many of us here were not, and are still not, happy with a lot of what Bush has done, but voting for Kerry is heading in the oppostite direction of what you claim to support.
I don't know how you found this site, but many of us are political junkies. We live, eat, breathe this stuff. We know John Kerry better than his drunken wife does and we know him to be a liar, a traitor, and a leftist who hates everything that we hold dear and what made this country great.
Kerry belongs behind bars, at a minimum. Or as I believe, in front of a firing squad based on his post Vietnam anti American behavior. To support him when you claim to support the values that we work for in tantamount to spitting in our face.
Hate is probably too strong a word. Disgust is much more appropriate.
Somehow, the word "everyone" doesn't include me. A mystery for you. I never saw your name around here, but I suppose you have some way of ascertaining blanket hate.
So, if you insist, and you evidently do, good bye, and have a nice day.
Somehow.
