I Have Lost a Friend Over the Election

Posted on 10/29/2008 2:12:34 PM PDT by libertarian9

I have been an Independent for most of my life but this year I registered as a Republican.

A have a friend who I've known for 22 years. He is an Obama supporter.

He has ended our friendship because I am supporting McCain and not Obama.

He has gone so far as to say that I'm not the person he thought I was all these years. I am angry and sad and a little stunned.

Anyone else having similar experiences over the election?

You will find other friends, in life as we pass through it, we sometimes find that we change. The problem is that others are incapable of change or reflection. Some people evolve, while some people are still primordial soup.

Same here. A friend of 30+ years emailed me with a joke about “McLame”. I replied that it was unusual for her to make fun of anyone’s injuries, no matter Political affiliation. She replied saying since I wasn’t supporting Obama I was a racist. I blocked her email.


For the first time in decades, after Palin was selected, my ultra-liberal uber-feminist mother engaged me in political discuss in a phone call.

She had NEVER before wanted to “go there” but now (post “get in their faces”) was chirpily eager to get into it.

When she said about Palin “did you know she was a WEATHER GIRL?” I knew that Mom had drunk the Kool-Aid. That showed how she had abandoned a lifetime of feminism, and simply wanted to make a (false) political attack, using demeaning sexist terminology to diminish Palin solely because of her gender.

Of course, like a good son, I held back the whole time, merely explaining what i liked about Palin, etc.

...I went on and on in the hopes that he at least realizes that he is astonishingly ignorant.

lol -- I think you won when he didn't reply to, "You're to stupid to vote."

There’s no protocol, some people just really hate vanity posts.
