i just hung up on a bush co-worker
she was laughing to start off with which made my bad mood that much worse. then she starts with how the economy is improving and that the poor economy wasn't bush's fault.

i was trying to explain to her the problem with the national debt and the fact that other countries are subsidizing us. she doesn't get it. she kept saying that outsourcing wasn't bush's fault and he can't stop it. she wasn't listening to a thing i had to say. i tried to stay calm, but ended up slamming the phone down.

she is not stupid, but she is un-informed and basically votes the way her husband does. he gives her an allowance cuz she's "bad with money".

god, i am so pissed right now.

:mad:

1. No, I'd say she is stupid
It is all in how you define the term.

5. I'm done arguing with them.
Edited on Wed Nov-03-04 06:01 PM by ocelot
I won't even talk to them more than is absolutely necessary to do my job. All I'm gonna say to them is something like. "Fine. Now the whole mess is entirely the problem of you Republicans. You can't blame anything on us any more. Good luck with that Iraq thing, cuz some day I'm gonna laugh at you and say 'I told you so!'"

6. I can't imagine someone like that voting for anyone else
but bush. She is simply behaving rationally, given her condition and situation.

I would have hung up on her as well, after several choice words, which would have guaranteed that she would NEVER speak to me again.

7. Draft
economic collapse

Social problems

Mom and dad starving

10 million more wtih no insurance

Loosing her home

Not having food to put on the table

Maybe, just maybe she will then start researching

Oh and please do not feel sorry for her then... she voted for bush, that is her bed (and ours but that is another matter... she is responsible)

8. What's with these idiots?
Edited on Wed Nov-03-04 06:23 PM by moonbeams
Their flippant, dismissive giggling over things like war, the deaths of thousands of innocents, our huge national debt, government corruption totally infuriates me. They just don't get it. :spank: :mad:

9. What is this?
A working woman who needs an allowance? Yep. Typical rightwing submissive wife type. Eww.

11. I posted this in another thread:
Some here may know that many of my co-workers are repukes. I came into work today wearing my black mourning clothes and made it clear to all that one snide remark and the offending party would end up in the ER to have my shoe surgically removed from their ass.
