Reply #11: The reason Slugs do better among married people.............

[ClintonTyree]

is because the husbands tell their wives who to vote for......and they do it.

Every Republican married couple I've ever met has this disgusting dynamic. The husband, being the smart one and most politically savvy :eyes: makes the decision of who to vote for and then tells the wive. The dutiful Slug wife will then vote for whom hubby has chosen because "she doesn't know anything about politics". :eyes:

I swear to God this happens. I grew up in a small town, very conservative, but I would ALWAYS overhear the husbands telling their wives how to vote. I've heard this from my Father, Brother, Sister...every Aunt and Uncle I can ever remember, every friend and their parents, it's disgusting! Until I was 20 I thought this was the normal dynamic of a husband and wife relationship concerning politics.

Has anyone else run across this? Or was I raised in a very weird little town. By the way, I'm 54 so this was back a while ago, but this practice is still in use today. Little ol' women can't BEGIN to understand the complexities of politics. Why, that's MAN'S work, silly! :puke:
