I loves me a little political arguing...my backwards aunt and I
got into a huge discussion yesterday.

everytime she tried to point, I counterpointed and all she could say was where did you hear that?

tried to say reinquist should retire so bush could put a true conservative on the bench...I pointed out he would put whom ever Karl Rove and co told him to put case in point Roberts and what he has done to further the pnac....(Thanks Randi Rhodes)

she was like whellll I neverrrrrrr hearrrrrd that...I had documents ready!~

then she wanted to argue about abortion. She asked my position. I told her this

"its not something I would do and I don't think it should be a form of birth control, but it should NOT be in the political arena" "I have a 14 year old girl and I want that option legal in cases of rape ect..."

she said why do you think it shoudln't be in the political arena. I said
"95 percent of those arguing against abortion will NEVER have to make that decision in the first place ... will NEVER have to live in fear of being raped (unless justice is servecd and they end up in prison)

she was like don't you think they are championing for the unborn...I said no if they cared so much for the unborn, they would take care of them after they were born, but they don't as evidenced by the cuts in social services.

I then asked if she knew abortion rates were much higher under W then they were under clinton????? she said no...where did you hear that. I said I have it in my files from three different sources if you want, I can send them to you...

I then asked what the bible said about running up debt you couldn't pay for. She said the bible talks about not being debtors....I asked then if bushy was bad because the deficit is the worst than any of the previous presidents combined....

she didn't want to play anymore...????

15. Clinton had people killed?
Uh what? I believe when he sent the military into a battle not one of them was killed compared to Bush's war and over 1,700 of our own military and thousands Iraqi's. :eyes: All Clinton did was lie about a blow job. Please. And I've heard he was still working too! And I heard an interview once with a woman who worked with Clinton (an aide or something) and she said Clinton would stay up to 3am working while Bush probably is in bed around 9:30.

19. "The Clinton Chronicles"
Edited on Sun Jul-31-05 12:01 PM by XanaDUer
Is some RW smear video, I believe, was sold by Falwell. In it, it went into the people the Clintons had murdered, like Foster and two kids in Arkansas.

The two teens were murdered and placed on railroad tracks to be run over because they had accidentally stumbled upon Clinton's clandestine drug ring in the rural parts of Arkansas.

Reall nutty-type stuff. :eyes:

6. The bible.. the Lord's prayer commands that we forgive our debts and
debtors. And that is a literal command as well as a metaphorical one.

7. Winning an argument against the non-political is easy.
Luckily for me I have a strange set of beliefs that allows me to have reasonable debates with most ideologies.

16. Save it for next time

10. If you don't hear from your aunt for a couple of days . . .
If your aunt goes silent on you, consider reaching out to her. Let her know that you don't mean anything personal by shooting your pitiful Repressive Right Talking Points down in flames (say it a little nicer), but that you'd be interested to continue the dialog.

She's going to need some good information to replace the bad information that you're cleaning out of her system. Don't leave it to Rush and the Faux fakers.

14. Looks like you got her
LOL. Didn't want to play anymore. In the Bible in the Old Testament every seven years you had to relesase your debts and everything.
