My * votin' friend is moving to Canada!!
This pisses me off because she and her husband are avid repubs but she gets to live in Canada (she got a post doc). Meanwhile the rest of us are stuck here with "the evil dictator"! I told her "My boyfried and I can stay with you when he gets drafted". She acted like she was confused. "Why would he get drafted?" What an f'n idiot!

This particular person drives me nuts...she's supposed to be a scientist and votes for *. Then she moves to Canada! I want to go to Canada!!

Sympathy??

:mad:

2. Not so sorry to see her go.
Get a new friend. Stay here and fight the good fight.

But, yes, the irony does suck.

4. Well she better keep her mouth shut up here
because she will be annihilated in any sort of argument she wants to start. Canadians are not gonna tolerate her brainwashed opinions. Unless she moves to Calgary, where the attitude will be only slightly warmer. If your boyfriend gets drafted, comeon up. We'll take care of you and him!

9. She is a fucking moron! She votes for whoever her husband

8. Let me get this straight.
She votes for Bush and then leaves the country leaving us to live with the consequences? Jeeeesh! My sympathy? You got it.

Maybe being exposed to a saner culture will cure of her of her Republican ways? (hope, hope, hope)

10. She's an f'n scientist at a university surrounded by liberals.
She ain't changing! She should at the very least be offended by *'s treatment of science, but not even that did it. It's very frustrating.....

11. Yes, but in her Off Hours
She can talk to people who agree with her. Same with him. Where is he going to find ANYTHING supporting his views? Hmmmm.... At Church? I don't think so.

They are not going to get their dose of brain washing up there like they have been.

12. Sounds like this fucking idiot on a Yahoo group I'm on.
For folks immigrating to Canada.

All the liberals on the board were bemoaning Bush winning, and she got her nose all out of joint.

She gets all upset, and equates being proud of America with being proud of Bush. Then gets angry that all the Canadian magazines and media "hate" him so much. (It's called the truth, asswipe! We don't get it here anymore!) Then she goes off on people who try to tell her why Bush is so unpopular.

I typed up a scathing reply, but it took me awhile, and I got interrupted midway through.

Wouldnt you know...I hit send, and it vaporized. I was PISSED. The moment passed, and now the board is back to normal. But in my more juvenile moments I've been considering "altering" her picture and putting it back in the picture archive.
