It's amazing what IGNORANCE will buy you

Just got through talking to my mother in law from TEXAS and she said she is voting for Bush because Teresa Heinz Kerry is too outspoken for a women in the "1st Lady" position (this coming from a woman who is EXTREMELY outspoken and oh, they are middle class, low income family SUFFERING under Bush's policies.:grr: I let her have it and watched my spouse sink to my voice ... Bush's "uniter not divider" policies... God I hate this administration:mad:

1. I would have told her if that's how she feels, fine, she'll never see me

again.

If my wife objected, I'd file for divorce.

9. well I threw the phone and I guess

it hung up, 'cause my spouse--after lifting his head out of his hands--said, "hello"...no one was there...fuck 'em. that has got to be the DUMBEST reason EVER to support Bush...I'm so damn mad I want to go rip bush/cheney signs up across the street :mad:

[madmax]

2. Oh yeah, that's a really good reason

to vote against your own best interests. The President's wife wasn't made in the Stepford lab.

Oh well, hang in there - at least you aren't married to her. ;)

3. Good thing she's in Texas

thinking like that

7. Oh, trust me, she fits right in here.

I don't know the woman, but I know the state. It's full of her Stepford Sisters. :eyes:

4. Choose your battles wisely....

I don't know if it's really worth it to argue with someone who in the long run is going to vote for Bush in a state that will undoubtably go to Bush anyway.

5. I Take it She Wouldn't Have Voted FDR either.

Eleanor was pretty outspoken.

6. Eleanor was the greatest first lady ever. She was one of the greatest

Americans ever.

She's been dead for 42 years, since I was a child, and my admiration for her only grows.

8. It's funny you mentioned this

I know someone, a senior, who only knew THK through our SCLM filter and felt rather the same way. Just a "feeling." Well, this woman saw THK on "The View" not long ago. Her reaction? "What a CHARMING woman! Oh! I would love to sit down with her and just talk and talk. She is SO interesting!" No lie! THK sells herself. We just need to get rid of the SCLM. Your mother-in-law may come around in the next 8 years of the Kerry admin., provided we filter out the filter. ;)

10. THK speaks for women --REAL WOMEN

and she is just what we need in the white house.

[txindy]

11. I have to agree with that

We just need to get the SCLM out of the way. FAR out of the way. Not just because of this topic, but all of the others, as well. I am so tired of listening to corporate opinions spouted by talking heads. **sigh**

12. the fact remains

during the chimps years. when they have that stupid most admired woman poll which USUALLY goes automatically to the 1st lady, it did not. can't remember who won, but HILLARY was 2nd.

[Blue_Roses]

13. Geeze..with all due respect

what a STUPID poll! I have live in the south ALL my life and know how the "stepford wife" thinks, but those days are GONE. It's hard for most men, but if they would accept that and work with things in a new light, then maybe they would "get some" more often.
