You raise a very interesting point. I wonder if any Freeper out there have a spouse who is a liberal Democrat. Frankly, I don't see how such an union could last either. I'll never forget when I first started dating my wife. It was during the 1984 election season and I was on leave from the Marine Corps. At one of our first dates, the subject of the election came up. Now I had just assumed that my wife was going for Mondale/Ferraro because she was from Massachusetts and of course, Ferraro was a woman and all that. But she surprised me and said that she was a firm supporter of Ronald Reagan. That was when I realized that I'd better not mess up and lose this girl!
20 years later, the marriage is 17 years old and going strong. And the both us us casted our votes for George W. Bush last Tuesday night here in Massachusetts. It would drive me nuts if my wife was a Democrat and all we did was cancel each others votes out. I would have to devise ways to keep her from getting to the voting booth!
But fortunately, that is not an issue.
ingrates! They should be d**n thankful they had Bush in the White House on 9/11, and not a stinkin' RAT like Al Gore or John F'n. We'd still be appeasing terrorists and would likely have lost a few thousand more people by now, many of them New Yorkers. Morons!
I was not born in Texas, but I came here as fast as I could.
You did good!:-)
I will NEVER understand how New Yorkers voted not so much FOR Kerry but AGAINST Bush .. and with a vengeance. I remember at the time Giuliani joked to W about all those people standing along the West Side highway and downtown streets with their posters, flags, etc .. and Giuliani said maybe 6 of them voted for him, while none voted for W.
Guess they didn't learn the lesson.
For 2+ years I worked at One Penn Plaza, the first high rise uptown from the WTC, and looked at it every single work day. As a native NYer, of course, I thought they were hideous. That notwithstanding, I can't believe as you say that the gap in NYC's skyline doesn't serve as a daily reminder of their need for a strong leader. I like to think of the rest of us as having saved them from themselves.
YES. YES. NO.
These losers are either mind-boggling stupid or are indeed, mentally ill. They are "traumatized"? Oh dear, oh deary me! Whatever will they do? Stick their heads into the sand for the next four years?
If goodness and truth are like acid on their hearts - then I guess they will have to stick with the denial, hate, and blame game in order to survive another four years. Fine with me - it's their souls. But if these boccie-playing, caramel-macchiato-drinking, double-melt-pizza-eating fools think anything is over, they've got another thing coming. Four years from now, I (armed with faith, hope, love, and prayers) will be waiting for them - ready, able, and willing to fight again for truth and goodness.

(snicker) I was thinking the same thing. hehehe!
