okay---well got to go---see you all later---at lunch

I'm very sorry the truth seems to hurt you.. There is nothing i can do about that. Oh and please enlighten me. What did I say that was hateful---you mean the facts which happened to me and no amount of liberal spin can take away?

"I do not hang out with HATEFUL people either!!!!"

There is a saying that you are sum of the people you hang around. Right now, you're doing a heck of a job convincing me you aren't hateful.

I also like people who take responsibility for their own lives and not try to blame our government for EVERYTHING!

" I did not want him to quit UNTIL WE TOOK IT AS FAR AS WE POSSIBLY COULD. Thats all I was asking for-----A BETTER FIGHT THAN HE GAVE. He quit on me and I can not stand a quitter. "

You seemed to have taken this very personally. Such a situation could not possibly have completely flipped your ideologies. It's all completely subjective. There really is more to politics than "fighting" and "quitting".

make some sense---i just told my story---the facts---LIKE IT OR NOT----Its reality---A TRUE STORY---MY STORY. I can only tell you my PERSONAL EXPERIENCE with the democrats. Take from it what you will. It does not make sense FOR ME---to hang with the quitters and the lazy people who can't get up of their ***** to protest when they need to. I do not hang out with HATEFUL people either!!!!

I started out as a young Republican--voted for Reagan, voted for Bush Sr. Then boom...it hit me. These a-holes are non-inclusive. You have to be a WASP or they don't want you (and I'm a WASP). I want a party that's open to everyone. A party that moves all of us ahead...not just the wealthy...not just the WASPs...not just the straights. A party where everyone has a place at the table. And that's why I'm now a Democrat.

"laurieleemoo: "i will now be a republican for the rest of my entire life---they are my kind of people.""

Makes sense, because that same mentality is what currently has us embroiled in a conflict that is going to be hell to deal with.

look--he had one more appeal he could have gone through in the courts and HE DID NOT. There was also the problem with the Butterly ballot in West Palm Beach-----he did not put his heart into fighting that----that Butterfly ballot, I am telling you---it could have been fought---and that would have been another 40,OOO VOTES FOR AL GORE---If they had counted those votes---HE WOULD HAVE WON. I did not want him to quit UNTIL WE TOOK IT AS FAR AS WE POSSIBLY COULD. Thats all I was asking for-----A BETTER FIGHT THAN HE GAVE. He quit on me and I can not stand a quitter.

"laurieleemoo, what exactly did you expect them to do after the Supreme Court ruled? Guns in the streets? Overthrough the government? What?! "

So true.
