The Tide Has Officially Turned: My repub sister FINALLY turns on Dumb-fuck

[Zomby Woof]

Just got off the phone with my mom, and she said my sister - the token black sheep repub in the family (and my brother-in-law is a freeper asswipe) - is fed up with the Chimp. ABOUT FUCKING TIME! I tried warning her 5 years ago, but nooooooooo.......... :eyes:

My sister IS a good person, although severely misguided, so please be easy on her. Save your wrath for me. :P

1. What did it? Was it Bush's AWOL response to Katrina?

Political SPECIALISTS want to know.

Dish the dirt.

[Zomby Woof]

6. I think it was incremental

But the gas price/Katrina episodes were a lethal one-two punch.

I have to agree with my mom... Katrina is worse than 9-11. She is very upset about it. :cry:

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

13. Katrina is worse in many ways

Unlike 9/11, we saw this coming, and perhaps more things could have been done. And its not like we haven't had major hurricanes hit this country before. Bush has botched this bigtime, and even freepers have to concede this.

[Momgonepostal]

22. I was thinking that today too

I'll bet it will take New Orleans longer to recover from Katrina than it did NY or Washington to recover from 9/11.

2. I honestly think it is the high costs of gasoline which is

hitting many in the pocketbooks which has and will continue to turn many former Bush supporters around.

4. Problem is, I think it's too late

Our last chance was 2004. Lots of us were saying it back then.

[Debi]

8. 2006 can slow him down

If we can take the House or the Senate and neuter the bastard.

At least stall for a couple of years.

[Arugula Latte]

27. God, I love that image of neutering that piece of shit prezdint

I imagine him back from the vet wearing a big plastic collar so he won't pick at his stitches with his own teeth.

[Zomby Woof]

14. It is NOT too late

There is Congress next year, and the '08 elections, which is a chance to take back shit for good.

Maybe.

I am rarely optmistic.

Of note: My sister is like Anakin... she still has a seed of good in her, planted when she worked on the Carter campaign in Virginia back in 1980, and up until she voted for Dukakis in '88.

She shut down her brain because of my evil brother-in-law, Palpatine.

[no name no slogan]

3. It just takes some people a little longer than others

at least she has finally seen the light

(sounds of angelic chorus as sunbeam breaks through the clouds)

[Ladyhawk]

12. Welcome them. At one point I would have said otherwise, but

I'm over that. Welcome them to reality.

[nini]

5. HAHAAHAHAHAHAHAH

Is Tom too?


woooo hooo.. I can only imagine what your mom said!


:bounce:

[Zomby Woof]

7. Mom held her tongue

And I firmly believe there in NO HOPE for Tom, who hasn't said anything of note. :P :bounce:

[nini]

21. I can't wait to hear about this..

if and when I get out of here.


haha

[The_Casual_Observer]

9. What's the matter, bush didn't follow through on the implied promise

of cheap Iraqi fuel, cruelty to gay people and a bible in every SUV?

I'd be pissed too by now if I had believed in that bastard.

[AlCzervik]

10. maybe she could call my tax cut loving brother in law and straighten him

out, i've given up on him.

[Ladyhawk]

11. Hey, can your sister talk to my brother and mother? Please???

I want my family backing me up on this. :cry: Sorry, I'm emotional because of Katrina, but I want my family back. :cry: :cry: :cry:

[Zomby Woof]

16. She is probably too fed up to back anyone up

My take is my sister is so pissed, she isn't ready to change 100%, just divorce herself from the process for the time being.

[OhioBlue]

15. I definitely won't bash her

i give her credit for swallowing her pride and admitting her mistake. Hopefully we will see more of this. Yes, it is too late for '04, but at least she has taken her blinders off and if more do, there is hope for our Country.

[Zomby Woof]

17. She was never hateful

Just misguided. Naive. But she never fit the definition of a freeper. She would lay down her life for her kid brother Zomby.

[KittyWampus]

18. hard to believe your sis is a repug.

[Zomby Woof]

19. See posts #14 & 17

Nini has met her, and can testify to my sister's decent character. It's a case of being lost.

[nini]

23. She's a sweetie... just got blinded by the right

>

[Darth_Kitten]

20. What set her over the edge?

What was the last straw?

[Zomby Woof]

25. Post #6 is the best answer I have

I didn't get many details, but it seems the way things have beengoing right up until now - gas and the war and the hurricane - are bad news for Bush and his minions.

[samplegirl]

24. i think everyone who voted for

George asshole Bush has no reason to complain.
To late now.....the damage is done.

[Zomby Woof]

26. She wasn't complaining

She just blasted him. That is a welcome and refeshing difference.

[samplegirl]

29. she should be

i have a very hard time feeling anything towards anyone who voted
bush.

[Ladyhawk]

33. If you can find it in your heart, try to welcome them.

It's not too late.

[samplegirl]

31. I dont mean to offend you

ZombyWoof shes probably a sweet sister. Im just
in a mood today. Im sure your glad to see her
coming around. Enjoy that and support her.

[Zomby Woof]

34. I don't begrudge your anger

Truly, I share it in so many ways, and I want NO MERCY on anyone who ever voted for him.

But I do have to allow a loophole for family, if only because she is generally a good person and apolitical for the most part - doesn't act freeperish and you wouldn't know it otherwise.

:-)

[Thtwudbeme]

28. Hey, give us a call

not on the cell.....Michael has that at Judo class tonight...unless you want to wait until he gets home at 8:30...

Would LOVE to talk to you and Nini

[Zomby Woof]

30. She'll be home in 90 minutes or so

I am sure it can be done.

[Thtwudbeme]

32. Oh excellent!!!

Please do, I want to get to know her also...

If you like her ( ;) ) I am positive I am going to adore her.
