Honey ..........................

[propel]

My mom said this to me...

"Honey, you don't really think He's gonna win do you?"

I am so mad sometimes that my own family is so politically stupid it just

infuriates me to no end.

The patronization and condescenscion directed at my political beliefs is really

irritating me to the point of retaliation against my own family members.

I'm fuming at being treated like a short fat kid that wants to play basketball.

1. Hang in there, they'll think you are a genius after they see the changes O hath wrought nt

[Metric System]

2. As someone who was a short fat kid that wanted to play basketball I resent that last remark.

[propel]

3. sorry....

I would rather be debated than condescended so.....it's infuriating.

[Metric System]

8. I was just kidding. And yes, I can definitely see how that would be annoying.

7. short fat kids can play basketball...

my favorite people to play volleyball with really suck at it, and the ones who I don't care to play with play the best.

5. Success is the best revenge.

Please go out and get involved.
I went to my first local Obama campaign volunteer meeting tonight.

I hope you'll do the same, turn the frustration energy into productive energy and you will prevail!

:hi:

6. I hate condescension more than anything

I am thankful that my family are good decent people who are all liberal and pro Obama. I've shouted people out of the house who say they will vote for McCain - even if they are my parents friends. Nobody who is in my domain is allowed to talk about Republicans - lest they think they can deal with my wrath.

9. Don't take this the wrong way..... but you're mom is a dick.....

:spray:

10. You should have responded....."I have no doubt that he will.

After all, it's only melanin. He's smarter and much better for our future....and that's what is supposed to count. That's what I was raised to believe."

[Egnever]

11. ouch

you know whats really going to piss you off is 4 years from now when they act like they talked you into supporting him.

[Naturyl]

12. I'd have said...

Nope, I sure don't think McCain is gonna win.

[propel]

13. Great idea

or this....."Mom, you don't think America is gonna continue to vote Republican do you?"

[bidenista]

14. laugh knowingly

And say, in a superior tone, "you'll see... you'll see..."

The best response to condescension is more of the same :D

[TexasObserver]

15. Just say "Mom, you don't even know what Facebook is. Shut up!"

If that doesn't work, say "you know when you're really old, I'm the one who can have you put away in an old folk's home, right?"

[WinkyDink]

16. The only answer: "Time will tell."

18. My 2 cent reply -

"I really hope he does. Unfortunately there are a lot of ignorant, hateful, stupid and lazy people out there who don't bother to research the best person to vote for. The idiots will vote for McBush, just like they gave us our current disaster. My hope is that more idiots stay home, or at least pretend to be smart by following those who inform themselves. Who are you voting for?"
