Wait till you hear this one...

So my girlfriend has this co-worker who tried to convince her to vote for Bush based solely on the tax cuts for the wealthy. Which is funny because my girlfriend isn't in a tax bracket that she would get any benefit from Bush. Her co-worker has a similar paying job, but also has a rich attorney husband who makes a ton. So she doesn't know anything about the current tax code, any clue as to how much my girlfriend makes, or a better guess: neither.

Anyway, my girlfriend is friends with this co-worker. I've met her, when you aren't talking politics, she's a nice person. Like other days, they went to work out at a nearby gym during their lunch hour. The co-worker and my girlfriend put their stuff in lockers, but the co-worker didn't care to lock her locker. Her coat gets stolen and it's freezing outside. Well my girlfriend at least had a scarf and a long sleeved shirt whereas the co-worker had a short-sleeve shirt and nothing else. So my girlfriend offers her co-worker her coat for the walk back to work AND the evening because the co-worker has a farther distance to walk than my girlfriend.

When my girlfriend told me this story, I told her that she should have said to her co-worker, "You need to pull yourself up by your boot straps! By not having a coat this time, perhaps you will learn to protect your belongings and make due without a coat."

We Democrats are just too generous I guess.

1. More compassionate, and statistically...

We're better lovers, right? I haven't heard any complaints yet.

So, wait a second, this girl's married to a rich attorney? Why is she working at all, isn't she supposed to be knocked up and barefoot by now? Least that's how the Repugs would like to picture America these days.

3. I'd say yes

better lovers for sure. And that is exactly the picture the repugs want for America. I don't see it happening here though. They are very similar to, who was it the Taliban, stoning women and other such midievil shenanigans. I'd be stoned really quick like there and am in the midst of an all out war with the hierarchy here (I mean the real here, not DU). Liberals make WAY better lovers and understand the concept of compassion. Repugs don't even understand the concept.
