1. Glad you did this,

hope you feel better, and

[democrat_patriot]

2. Tough decision - but the right decision.

Keep the faith, and feel 100,000 Du hugs!

[seabeyond]

3. i had 11 stickers on my car during 2004 election and my republican hubby didnt say a word

as a matter of fact, as often as it was brought up, he would chuckle about my car. and often pointed it out to his buddies.

no

all are not the same.

[virgogal]

36. Two sensible adults. How refreshing. You are lucky to have eachother.

[Arugula Latte]

4. Good for you! And I can tell you made the right decision because you sound

so damn happy and relieved!

[IADEMO2004]

5. Take a big breath of fresh clean air and yell "I feel good"

or what ever makes you smile. Good riddance to the mill stone

[GreenPartyVoter]

6. Maybe you will meet smeone new here on DU or working on political stuff in your town, if you

have time.

If not, I hear there are some online dating services that sort people by political views, and I think there may even be some for liberals only? Even if nothing serious comes of it, you might find it fun to exchange flirtatious notes with someone for a while? (Assuming you even want to have anything to do with anyone right now. If not, it's completely understandable. :hug

[immoderate]

7. BFs are OK. Controllers are not.

I hope this works out well for you!

[Jack Sprat]

8. So glad to hear this, my sister.

It was a strong indication of what kind of disrespect he would show you in the future. Your political outlook was not his to change or control. Control freaks are always bad matches for any woman. It's an ominous sign for a relationship. Here's hoping you find someone who respects your point of view.

[tularetom]

9. Sounds like you made the right decision but

you shouldn't be talking on the phone while you drive.

[Wait Wut]

38. I just assumed she was hands free.

Democrats are responsible folk.

[Freddie]

10. I hope he'd good and dumped

(I'm female, Freddie is a cat)
Many years ago I briefly dated a guy with some pretty Neanderthal ideas about women. The more I got to know him, I realized how ingrained this was. When I dumped him he was totally shocked and had no idea why I would find his viewpoint offensive! Probably beating his wife somewhere as we speak.
For me, this was a learning experience; I didn't realize that I was a feminist or liberal until that experience cleared it up.
Consider this a learning experience.

[kctim]

11. Coast to Coast was a good one last night

[grantcart]

14. ????

Didn't realize they ever had a good night. Don't listen often but the couple of times I listened it was alien abduction.

[kctim]

17. Of course they do

They have a wide range of topics, last night was about ancient relics.

Callers make up most of the show though, and I love listening from people from all over.

[MadrasT]

19. It is actually pretty interesting sometimes.

I am hardly ever up that late though.

[Fla Dem]

25. Used to really love C2C when Art Bell hosted

Even enjoyed Ian Pundette, but George Nooray kinda rubs me the wrong way. I wonder if it's because he is a RW wacko. Has had some of the RW lunatics on a few times like Jerome Corsi, and occasionally the talk turns political and he is definitely a RW'er. I think Art Bell was too, but he never really let it be obvious. But if C2C has an interesting topic, I might listen, it puts me to sleep anyway.

[PragmaticLiberal]

28. Fwiw, Art Bell voted for Obama.

[Fla Dem]

31. Really! Well that makes me happy. How did you know that? n/t

[PragmaticLiberal]

32. He discussed it on his show one night.

Art said that he normally doesn't talk about politics and then proceeded to say he voted for Obama.

I think Art has more "depth" than the typical crazy RW.

A little conservative on some issues. Liberal on others.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

42. George is a hack

Doesn't trust any politician, but "personally liked George Bush"....never said the same of "Mr. Obama" as he calls him.

[reformist2]

49. I loved Art Bell. Such an entertainer!

[savalez]

29. Methinks it was the proverbial straw and all that.

More power to the poster! Rec'd.

[kestrel91316]

35. George Noory has ruined C2C. Art Bell was a great interviewer and host. Noory is a moran.

[Fla Dem]

56. Totally agree n/t

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

41. Why? Was Ian Punnett hosting?

Snoory is awful with his index cards asking the same five questions (How did you get interested in this? Where can we find your book?) and John B Wells is a total right-wing goddamn loon. Fuck that asshole. George Knapp is hit or miss. I don't listen anymore.

[ProfessionalLeftist]

12. Wise move. n/t

[CrispyQ]

13. This:

STAY TRUE TO YOURSELF

[progressivebydesign]

15. Sending hugs... Anytime you have to hide who you are, it's a sign that something's wrong.

Never let anyone dim your own light. If you can't put stickers on your car because of someone, then it's not the right someone.

[msongs]

16. so he changed into this overnight or was he this way when you first chose to hang with him? nt

[LadyHawkAZ]

18. Irrelevant and somewhat rude n/t

[uponit7771]

33. +1

[ncgrits]

20. Good for you! Hope you feel much better and PROUD OF YOURSELF!!!!! nt

[Dont call me Shirley]

21. Way to go girl, good luck to you

[tomm2thumbs]

22. Stay strong

and starting a personal journal/diary always helps! It can be amazing to look back in one of those over even just a few weeks and really see what is going on vs. always trying to figure it out day by day at the moment.

Plus it's good for the spirit. Best of luck!

[evilhime]

23. <clapping>

You deserve kudos, support, hugs and a round of applause! Good going girl!!!

[rox63]

24. Hugs to you!

Tough decision, but it's best to take care of yourself here.

[dawg]

26. Good for you.

Lots of people wind up married to people that disrespect them. I'm beginning to think that won't happen to you!

[yesphan]

27. Way to go.

We should not suffer lightly those that try and make our lives miserable.

[tblue]

30. He wasn't much of a bf anyway.

If he can't comfort and be there for you and have your back, you're better off on your own where you can find someone else if you want to.

To quote Marilyn Monroe in The Misfits: "If I'm gonna be alone, I'd rather be by myself."

You go, girl! It took guts and you did it. Congrats and kudos!

[southernyankeebelle]

34. Bravo to you. You are entitled to your own opinion. Put your bumper sticker on

your car. He doesn't like it to bad. Here is an idea just tell him since you can't agree on politics that from now on you guys don't talk politics. If he starts remind him and if he continues walk away. You can't argue with yourself. It works. I did it in my family.

[rl6214]

37. Sounds like you just had an asshole for a boyfriend...

glad you are rid of him.

[Cleita]

39. Good for you.

I find I can't deal with RWingers anymore, especially when they start regurgitating Heritage Foundation talking points and when I point out that they are being lied to, they won't admit it even when I present them with facts and figures. I figured out for my sanity that I have to cut them loose. The last RWinger I dated was so racist I had to cut our second date short cause I couldn't stand to listen to him anymore.

[Laochtine]

40. Better now

then later. It would be very hard for me to date an entrenched rw. Good luck!

[dsharp88]

43. You totally deserve to be hugged :-)

[Mr Dixon]

44. good 4 you

[Kablooie]

45. A truck driver is exactly the kind of guy that will be screwed under the GOP.

I can't understand how people like this can support Republicans.
It's utterly stupid.

[sarcasmo]

46. Nice Rant.

[madokie]

47. You done good

Back when I was a dating man my new girlfriend was always much better than my last one was so keep that in mind as you ply the darkness of loneliness. Good things come to good people and I've a hunch you are good people.
Peace

[Ricochet21]

48. You tell em DA

damn right, be yourself
good work

[roody]

50. Support here.

I hope you can savor your solitude. It may not last long.

[BlueCaliDem]

51. K&R!! Good for you!

It took guts and I commend you for it! How many women wouldn't even think of doing what you've done?

Long live the Democratic Party! Long live freedom! And long live gutsy Democratic men and women!

[ArnoldLayne]

52. Yes!!!

[LibMD]

53. bumppity

[eridani]

54. Good start--please take advantage of your personal support systems now.

Friends are the best at times like this.

[Snoozin]

55. GOOD FOR YOU!

Ha! I have a RW GF and surprisingly we get along fairly well. We just dont talk politics.
IF she acts up when BO gets re-elected... She'll get the boot!

BE YOU!
