7. LOL, I know I can say this in good company here...
My mom loved her clothes! HAHAHAHHA!

But other than that, she thought she was so put-together, she just fell in-love. I'm so happy!

16. sorry..you don't know me
Edited on Wed Jun-18-08 06:03 PM by noiretblu
i should have used this :sarcasm: lifelong republicans swayed by one television segment of the candidate
's wife? ok...sure. as i said, i am not a believer, but i suppose these things happen. and then of course, they don't have much of a choice in mccain.

17. I was just kidding around too, since you said magic.
Edited on Wed Jun-18-08 06:14 PM by cui bono
It is weird, though I'm sure it was more than that TV segment. It sure is nice to know that the Repubs are so disenchanted with their own that they are coming over to our side though. Hopefully enough to counteract all the voting discrepancies. Hm... maybe we should break out some spells and voodoo dolls after all. ;)

edit to add: btw... I love the "Commander Cuckoo Bananas" in your sig. :rofl:

19. not cynical about your word
i don't know you well enough not to trust you :hi: i just wonder about the conversion phenomenon, but i guess people have been truly starved for decency and competence.

21. Yup. "Decency and competence" would be a refreshing change.

22. My dad too
But, it wasn't nessessarily Obama that brought him over. GW managed to convince my lifelong Republican father who has NEVER ever voted for a dem in his lifetime of voting to vote for Barack Obama. Hopefully, it will be a downticket kind of statement from him!

23. Yeah!
:applause: I finally have the Momz committed too! We've been fighting since my first two choices were gone. She clung to Hillary until the bitter end. Swore she wasn't going to vote and all that crap. She's come around though. :applause:
