I had an interesting "discussion" with my ex tonight while we were waiting for parent/teacher conferences. This seems to be the best thread to share it...
He said he voted for Bush (a given, he's always been a Republican) but that he can't stand him (huh?). He has always been pro-life and that is the main issue that he votes on so I told him he should be happy because Bush should get to appoint enough Supreme Court Justices now to overturn Roe v. Wade. He said "Well, I hope they don't make it totally illegal. Some people should be able to get abortions" (new spin from him, before it was NEVER, not in rape, incest, health of mother, etc.) BUT, then he said "Once they overturn that, I'll be voting Democratic". He went on to say he was against the Iraq War, upset about the federal deficit (he's a financial analyst, MBA in finance), worried about the privatization of Social Security, worried that we'll take on more countries militarily, etc. On and on and on...
So, from his take, once the abortion thing isn't an issue anymore, he'll be a Democrat.
