28. May she never come to regret her vote.
Tue Nov 6, 2012, 04:11 PM
Nov 2012

I know we talk a lot here about hoping the Republicans feel the consequences of their policies, but right now, I just hope with all my heart that she will never be in a situation where her vote will come to bite her in her posterior. Should, heaven forbid! Romney win tonight, I hope she will never have to realize how much of her rights as a woman the Republicans want to take from her. That she will not lose her husband from their reckless war policies. That she will not suffer when her husband retires, and won't get the medical care the VA should give him but won't be able to because the Republican will de-fund them. That she will never be in a situation where her children cannot go to college because the Republicans have removed Pell grants and made student loans impossible to service. And so many other ways the Republicans want to make the lives of ordinary men and women more difficult - that since she is your daughter, I hope she will never have to repent for casting that vote today.
