My husband who SLEPT through last night's debate has set my blood pressure to 1000
After having to sit through the evening news and listen to all of the reports about Romney including reports from Massachusetts where his son Tig or Tag or Tuck or whatever the hell his name is was talking about how much his dad loves everyone and cares so much and people have been so mean, my head was about pounding. And hubby turns to me and says that the president was horrible and just standing there "out of it". So that about blew the top of my head off. I said that with the amount of lies Romney was spouting anyone would be taken aback. Then he said the President lied just as much Romney, and that I let this politics stuff get me too upset. Then he went to bed. Now I am sitting here FUMING!!!!!

Last edited Fri Oct 5, 2012, 09:20 AM USA/ET - Edit history (1) My sister, who missed the debate, texted me earlier to find out what I thought... After three texts I just said it had to get better as the MSM (hopefully) reveals all Mitt's lies and then went off to sweat it out on the treadmill for 90 minutes.
Yes, I can relate...  |

Avoided the news and ran for a little more than two hours. Still voting for the prez and hoping that sanity returns as fact checkers point out falsehoods.

I'm in a politically mixed marriage and the fur can fly at times. So I call my Liberal daughter on the phone and I talk extra loud to her so my rethug hubby can hear me pointing out all the lies and bullshit from Rmoney and clan.

16. He wasnt saying Obama did bad
|
Last edited Thu Oct 4, 2012, 11:09 PM USA/ET - Edit history (1) he was saying that Obama is as big a liar as Romney. That is what made me nuts because he has no idea what he is talking about, has no intrest in politics and is just repeating junk he heard around the office.
If he had an opinion that would be great but he is intentionally low information because he doesnt like politics but then likes to push my buttons. Its a good thing he's cute ! |

21. Because its only politics that we clash so hard on
|
We are actually madly in love with eachother. We've been together for a total of 27 1/2 years married for 21 years. Fortunately he asks me who to vote for. He does think I am a bit too liberal but he also has Aspergers Syndrome so that adds about one million percent to his stubborness. So as much as I am bitching right now, I would not trade him for the world. He is amazing in so many ways he just infuriates me with his politics.
And fortunately I have you lovely folks to listen to me vent!!! |

23. I was just about to say I think he likes to push your buttons, but you beat me to it!
Throw him off his game and agree with him on something like that, randomly, right out of the blue. See what happens. If nothing else, it'll give you a chuckle to see how he handles leading the way in a political discussion.  |

If I had married a Republican I would be dead by now. Or him. Definitely divorced!
Good luck, honey. You are better than I am! |

24. Believe it or not, they're not all alike. Some have been left far behind by the party they knew.
|
They just can't understand or accept that, yet. It's our job to help them out.
And to raise our kids to tease and mock them about politics whenever possible, and far outnumber them in the family in voting every election.  |

26. Absolutely

Our kids are VERY liberal, my husband's family is VERY Republican so we have fun together (sometimes) I try to keep it as light hearted as possible and we stay away from heavy topics for the good of the family, so our political arguments tend to be more or less fairly good natured most of the time LOL!

You just have to learn to let it go in one ear and out the other.
