My wife and I have been married since May 2008. We had been dating for about a month when we decided to go to the movies and watch The Prestige. While we were waiting for the movie to start we saw a preview for The Dixie Chicks movie, Shut Up & Sing. It was during that preview that I learned the ugly truth about my future wife... she is a democrat! Needless to say, the date was spoiled (minus the movie, which I gave an 8 out of 10 on IMDB), but our relationship survived as a result of a next-day date to Wendy's where we hashed out our political differences and agreed to disagree.
Ever since then I've noticed inconsistencies in her political ideology. These inconsistencies have led me to believe that she might not be a Democrat after all; yet, she still insists on calling herself one. Don't get me wrong, she's no Republican, but when I asked her how she felt about Bill Maher's show being canceled in 2002 she said that she thought it was still on the air up until last year when she heard it referenced on her Gilmore Girls DVDs. Oh sure, she can argue talking points with my Conservative parents about immigration, but every once in a while I'll hear her say something that makes me stop and think, "How can she say she's a Democrat?"
I love my wife, but I'd be doing America a disservice if I didn't expose her for the political fraud she doesn't even know she is.
Steve, we love you despite your leaning right! and thank you for helping me to feel that I taught my daughter well! :) What do you think we were doing in all those FHE's???? :)
