My right-leaning wife will be voting dem for the first time ever!!!
I've been doing my best over the past year or so to show her what a bunch of bloodthirsty liars Bushco are, and she'd been leaning Kerry for a while now.

I took her to see F-9/11 yesterday and it put her over the edge.

Now she wants to try and get her Repub parents to go and see it.


Score one for the good guys!!!:)

11. Yes, baby steps.... that are coming in leaps and bounds now...
My dad called me today to say that he finally agrees with me that Kerry/Edwards will win. He's hated Bush since day one, but it's taken me this long to convince him that there's a good chance of there being SO MANY PEOPLE disgusted with him that we can take this election. :bounce:

7. new term for bushco
Edited on Sun Jul-11-04 08:40 PM by captainjack
instead of saying bushco, i've started using dickbush or bushdick...more degrading(and effective!) and better suited to the thief/monkey in chief.

god i hate the sight of that man, and his goddamned cronies. i want to throw ssomething at the tv anytime i hear their voices or see their faces.

*edit* don't want the patriot act to send me to jail for "threatening" the prez. that bastard.

You are in good company if you want to throw something at the tv when you see Bush or his administration on the tube! :hi:

9. Welcome to DU, captainjack!
I don't know, I'm kind of partial to BushCo so I think I'll be keeping that one. But feel free to use whatever denigrating nickname you want to for them. We'll know who you're talking about.

12. Yay!!
My husband informed he was going to vote this year for Kerry for "the sole purpose of getting rid of Bush". Mind you, he's NEVER voted for ANYONE--one of those "my vote doesn't count anyway" people.

I'm pretty proud, been working on him for nine years ;)

14. Have her read . . .
The Right-Wing Propaganda Machine and How It Distorts the Truth: Big Lies ...by Joe Conason

It is very revealing how slick & slimy these zealots are.
