   Oh, I know! This infuriates me to no end! (Can I call this “righteous indignation”?!? 😉 ) I’m right there with you… Who appointed us as “big brother” of the world??? We’ve often discussed the same things here in our house and I say, too, if they want freedom – let them fight for it just as we did! They’ll certainly appreciate it more…as it’s clearly seen, they aren’t appreciating it from our hands that’s for sure! And, you know, I don’t blame them one bit. “Busibodies” (and worse!) that’s what the USA is now. Bleh!!!

   I was the only one in my family to vote for Perutka (oop, might have spelled it wrong). That’s why I didn’t put any supportive “stuff” up on our blog. Anyway, dh and I discussed and discussed before the election and we *had* to vote seperately. 🙁 He said he understood the “pragmatist” arguements but still felt he had no choice – ugh! (That’s also why I didn’t join in the discussion on the PW list…this is just one area I couldn’t “submit” in.) So, dh is on the same page as I (and you) and the more evidences that come up I’m trying reeeaaally hard not to say, “I told you so.”, “You’re only getting what you voted for.”, etc., etc.

   You really shouldn’t have gotten me started on this… 😉 My parents will be here in a couple of hours and I’m sure they won’t want to listen to me rant! LOL

   Tamara, Glad you voted for Peroutka (this is the right spelling, I learned it on purpose so as not to look foolish to all the Bush Supporters in 2004 😉 )

   I’m so sorry your DH didn’t vote the same as you, even though he knew the pragmatic stuff then … On a particular reformed message board there were pragmatists and they didn’t even come as far as your DH, but well then they might not have been honestly talking about what they thought. 🙁

   It is SOOO hard not to say “I told you so” to others, so I know how THAT feels, but feel deeply for you in the hardship it is in your case, much harder I bet!!!!

   I’m sorry 😉 to have gotten you started on this. I suddenly just had words to say. I found that post on backwater report and that coupled with Fox & Friends show stuff I’d heard/seen … I just couldn’t not say anything. 🙂

   Hope all goes well in your household with these type of discussions! 🙂

   That’s perfectly alright! Yes, all is fun in these types of discussions at home. 🙂 Most of the time we are on the same page and turning at the same time! 😉 This time, we just couldn’t agree. And, he would have been terribly disappointed in me if I voted just to please him. So, all in all, everything was fine. He really sees “our” side…is on “our” side…but… Don’t ask me. He’s fed up and dislikes/distrusts Bush… I couldn’t understand why he couldn’t vote otherwise. [shaking head in bewilderment] Ah well. Really, really has me curious about what will happen at the polls next time. 😉
