My school is in Canada, she's a Republican from California. Incidentally, I have two courses with her, and she walked into the class room as I was typing this.

1. How did she react to being only 1 out of 100?
In a country that has public insurance?

4. Probably felt like Cartman
Kyle: Hey Stan. Did you see that rainbow this morning?

Stan: Yeah. It was huge.

Cartman: Eh. I hate those things.

Kyle: Nobody hates rainbows.

Stan: Yeah. What's there to hate about rainbows?

Cartman: Well, you know. You'll just be sitting there, minding your own business, and they'll come marching in, and crawl up your leg, and start biting the inside of your ass, and you'll be all like, "Hey. Get out of my ass you stupid rainbows."

Stan: Cartman, what the hell are you talking about?

Cartman: I'm talking about rainbows. I hate those friggin' things.

Kyle: Rainbows are those little arches of color that show up after a rainstorm.

Cartman: Oh. RainBOWS. Yeah, I like those. Those are cool.

Stan: What were you talking about?

Cartman: Huh? Oh nothing. Forget it.

3. Not that I mind losing Republicans out of the State of California, but
how did you guys get stuck with her? It seems a country like Canada that cares about its citizen's well being wouldn't be attractive to someone like that.

5. You have to consider the source. Californian Republican says it all.
Nothing against DU'ers from California. This is directed strictly at the for profit insurance fan.

You should mention to her that almost every other industrialized country considers our health care here a freaking joke.

I still wish that my Dad had moved us back to Canada.

8. OMG we a knee deep in these dumbshits here in Idaho
Used to be a pretty nice place until they showed up and started running their mouths. Typical republican trash - fuck up their own state and move on to greener pastures.

I can't wait to move.

9. Why is it that I always think of the movie "Independence Day" when Repuke is mentioned?
Oh that's right; they destroy everything in their path and move on to the next hapless victim.

I think we're going to have to leave the US if nobody stops the Repubs and the insurance companies.

6. Nice enough girl...
She's Hispanic, supported the left-wing slate in last year's student union elections (because her friend was running on it), and more libertarian than conservative....
