My vote for the most ridiculous I've seen so far is "I'd leave my husband if he bought it for Trump".
This one even surpasses all the ridiculous "I'm going to leave the country if Trump is elected to"
All I can do when faced with a comment like that is laugh. My next comment is bullshit. And finally if the speaker is serious and would actually leave a spouse for something like this done all I can say on behalf of the husband is good riddance

"And it's amazing how people who are such hypocrites themselves can point the finger at somebody else. I'm out of here.nobody here is the least bit interested in understanding anything about the other side. Posts like this are done only so that they can continue to tell those who don't think like they do have stupid ,uninformed and wrong they are."
I thought you were leaving the board or was it just the other thread? Stupid things are said on both sides. I think this post (the new thread you started) is telling others how stupid, uninformed and wrong they are.

I said this before...
please, give us the highlights of all the positives of your candidate. Tell us why they are the best. Seriously. It's become quite the norm that when bad things happen, instead of telling us why your candidate is the best fit, you swing out with (post articles/links) with anything you can of why it's always someone else's fault!
It would certainly be refreshing to read about all the positive attributes of your candidate for once vs the same old party line bullcrap propaganda- attack, divide and conquer. By doing so, making some sort of compelling informative argument for your candidate may educate others.

I honestly thought this post was going to be about Mr. Trump's comment that a person of Mexican descent who was born in the US was NOT an American, but a Mexican.
. . .now that shit *IS* totally ridiculous.

If someone said they'd leave their husband if he voted for *any candidate*, I'd be tempted to reply "Really? Good to know!"  |

Sorry, I just asked my husband if he would divorce me if I voted for Trump and he admitted it would cause him to reevaluate everything because clearly my values would no longer be in sync with his and that I would not have the character he's always taken for granted. I'm not sure why that's ridiculous.

At this point, my vote is going to the hair I can tolerate looking at the most for 4 years. It's going to be a coin toss.

I'm not sure why that's ridiculous. Exactly my point, Sarah. And FTR, ~Lauren~, my husband and I have cancelled out one another's votes many times. We will do it on Tuesday. Trump is an extreme situation and speaks entirely to core values. Thanks for the call-out thread. I think it's my first! |

Why would you make a thread for this rather than just addressing it the other one, or better yet just scroll past since it's not your marriage being referenced.

The problem with doing that here, on this board, is that people don't "just want to know" or are "just curious." They want to then argue about it and tell the person that their reasons are stupid. Those whose minds are already made up don't give two squirts about the positive attributes of the candidate on the other side. |

hmmm, I've been around long enough to remember when Lauren would make snotty, passive-aggressive racist remarks to mirabelleswalker, because she (erroneously, but whatever) thought MW was black. I guess some things never get old, and for Lauren, being passive-aggressive and snotty toward mirabelleswalker is one of them. |

I guess some things never get old, and for Lauren, being passive-aggressive and snotty toward mirabelleswalker is one of them. It's certainly a no-brainer as to why she's a Trump voter. That's one vote I have zero trouble understanding. |

Yep...a Trump vote from mine would definitely give me pause and make me think because it would mean that his core values had changed and we were totally out of alignment. I have very strong feelings against him and I would have to rethink if I could be with someone who'd support so many things I'm adamantly against.

My husband and I often vote differently on various measures and even for some candidates. But if he were to vote for Trump, it would really raise questions for me about his integrity and core values. Some candidates are just beyond simple disagreements.

How many elections have you been through with the Peas? Both of these things have been said in every election by BOTH sides. Old news. I thought it was particularly funny when Republicans would say they were moving to Canada after Obama was elected in 2008-- seeing how Canada is a lot more "socialist" than Obama ever was. |

I think it's equally ridiculous no matter which side is saying it. But to divorce your spouse because he votes for a different candidate than you? Sorry, but no matter which side of the aisle this person is on, it's a ridiculous comment to make.
And frankly, I'm really not surprised that liberals (AKA the New Thought Police) would be the ones to consider divorcing their spouses because their spouses do not think like them. And we wonder why so many of them have cheating spouses, broken homes, etc, etc. Then again, my core values are very different from theirs. My relationship with my husband does not depend on his choice of presidential candidate.

Oh gee, what a surprise. Lucy bringing up the race issue. It's the typical liberal thing to do when all else fails.
Whatever, I long ago stopped caring if a liberal calls me racist, sexist, homophopic, Islaphobic or any of the other myriad of names they use to try to prevent someone expressing views they don't agree with.
So Lucy you go right on calling me any of those names you wish; I will continue to say what I please regardless of whatever "ist" you think it makes me.

Some candidates are just beyond simple disagreements. And so what if his core values have changed over time. So what if he doesn't hold the same core beliefs as you about the direction this country is going. Is that really something that would cause you to leave him? Aren't his beliefs about family, virtue, honor etc far more important to you and your relationship regardless of his political beliefs? I cannot wrap my mind around how shallow some of you sound. |

Interesting that you latched onto the "racist" component of my comment rather than the more salient points about how you like to attack certain peas over and over again, deserved or not. But carry on. We all recognize when you're cycling through one of these, um, "argumentative" phases of yours. |

Not giving a damn about people whose religion is different than yours, not giving a damn about the contributions of immigrants to our nation, not giving a damn about people of color---this is the very definition of shallowness and worse. |

I see you haven't answered my question. So yes, I suppose you really would leave him if he votes for Trump. What a fantastic marriage you must have. And don't bother telling me your marriage is wonderful because it's clear that it's only so as long as he thinks just like you.

Well Lucy, that being the case "F__k Off".  Your so-called "salient points" are nothing more than hypocrisy. I notice you didn't say a word to MergeLeft when she went after Rainbow Scrapper, asking the admins to give out Rainbow's name and address so MergeLeft could phone in a hotline report. Talk about going after the same person time and time again. I've seen your buds and you do it repeatedly to her and Gia Lupea. It's the SOS...when you do it, it's fine. When your friends (ie, those who think the same as you) do it, it's fine. If someone who doesn't think like you does it, suddenly you've got a problem with it. The only salient thing in your posts are that they exhibit the SOS over and over again. Just as you accuse mine of doing. |

My relationship with my husband does not depend on his choice of presidential candidate. I have CONSERVATIVE friends who said that they wanted to go see a Dixie Chicks concert but they couldn't because their husbands said they weren't allowed to go or would divorce them. Comments like that aren't only made from one side for goodness sake! Cheating spouses and and broken homes? Are you talking about Trump? I personally have been married for 21 years to the same person. And most of my liberal friends have been married 15+ years to the same person. My friend with the spouse who cheated the most before they divorced? Big Trump sticker on his truck. Do I think being conservative or liberal or anywhere in between has any impact on cheating or divorce? Absolutely not. For a family law attorney that is a pretty odd thing to say. |
