Best part: And frankly, I don’t understand -- I mean, I'm obviously a card-carrying Democrat -- but I can't understand why any woman would want to vote for Mitt Romney, except maybe Mrs. Romney." Albright then revised her pool of rationally thinking female Romney supporters to include his five daughters-in-law, an obvious but hardly generous expansion.

Bwhahahaha. Sorry. Particularly amused by that "maybe."

I got a kick out of that "maybe" too. I can't help but lol at the idea of Mrs. Romney and her daughters-in-law secretly voting for Obama.

Well, if Meghan McCain is a closet Marxist, it's possible.

I love her.

That's how my FMIL is. It's not necessarily racism against OBAMA with her, it's because she thinks that Democrats support "illegal immigration" too much and they're taking jobs from Americans.

(Trying to explain to her that legal immigration is different from "illegal" kind of doesn't work because she doesn't understand it.)

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's how those people see it. Same kind of logic where people refer to my partner as "an immigrant" even though he was born in the US and lived here all his life. OH, I SEE, YOU MEAN "NOT WHITE."

In b4 FauxNews calls this another vicious, rabid attack on Mitt Romney...... layweed September 6 2012, 03:42:07 UTC

While waiting for the cab this afternoon, I was stuck in the hotel lobby watching FoxNews. Oh my god, you guys. What the fuck are they smoking? The entire segment was just "EVERY SPEECH AT THE DNC HAS BEEN ATTACK AFTER ATTACK AFTER ATTACK!!!!!!! Can you imagine what would have happened if Romney/Ryan went up on stage and did the same?!?!?!?!?!?!"

fuck the what.

And then at the airport I was exposed to this bs again.

Seriously, it's enough to make me question moving to the Tx Panhandle for a job that I really want. I read that one of the congressional elections was like 90+% Republican and the rest Libertarian. Fml.

The Panhandle is kinda...rough. Like, to the point that it's common knowledge amongst my entire family that the Panhandle is just Not A Place You Go. :|

What kind of job is it?

layweed September 6 2012, 04:32:16 UTC

State job with Texas DPS. It's not permanent, I can always transfer to another lab after a few years, but just being in super-red Panhandle is enough to make me puke, tbh.

ETA: It's not permanent as in, it's not permanently in Amarillo, there's always the option of transferring if the opportunity arises.
