Why is that so hard to understand? I don't feel like it is appropriate to discuss this at work. I don't even know this guy very well.

One of my co-workers just came to my office and asked if I saw the speech last night. I didn't feel like talking about it and technically, I didn't
watch it live (I had a football game), so I said no. Then he assumes I just not interested in "this stuff" because I didn't want to talk about
it. I told him "I'd rather not get into a political discussion at the office." He looked at me like I was an alien.

One of my co-workers (EVERYONE knows I'm for Obama) came into my office and asked me if I saw the speech. I was like yeah, I watched it as I was making
perssuasion calls to my assembly district for Obama. Then the dumb bitch says "Don't you think it was aweome?!!!!"
Uh...NO

That's so stupid.
I had to sit on a plane from ARIZONA to Philly on the day McCain announced Palin as his running mate. I wanted to shoot myself. The two women sitting in my row were saying Palin "definitely has my vote." And one of them said, "yes, I saw the notice on my home page, Fox News." I hate connecting flights out of Southern California. |

NO! He is not "that" guy but this came out of nowhere! I don't ever talk to this guy but I guess since I have a vagina, I should love her.

I personally think it's a bad idea to talk politics in the workplace.
I'll tell you this: John McCain certainly isn't getting my vagina vote. |

Politics and religion at work should be banned, but then there is that free speech amendment. Catch 22.

In the news this morning they were discussing how all these people in the RNC were wearing buttons that said "The Hottest VP from the Coolest
state" and then play the sexist card |

^right?
And all the GOP women on talk shows are saying how she can be VP because she's a mother. Anybody can shat out a kid, doesn't make you qualified to be anything, not even a good mother. And NO ONE says Obama is going to be a good president because he's a dad, or even because he's Black, but the GOP'ers have no problem claiming Palin's vadge as reason for her to be in the position she is |

STFU! I swear you are the biggest idiot on JJB. I sometimes feel bad talking about you, because I suspect you may be "special". If that is the case, I apologize in advance. |

i know some women that have children that are horrible moms and the same with dads. That in no way qualifies you in politics. Let's put the kids aside and
whether or not she is or isn't a good mom....she should have proof read that speech beforehand.
