Every night, my husband comes home with a new rant about the elections... usually something said on FoxNews, news about the candidates' stances on the war or national debt, etc.
He claims to only read this stuff while he's waiting for things to load at work...
However, judging from the amount of email he sends me each day, I think he secretly spends his entire day trolling the Internet for video clips or memorizing facts and figures to present over dinner.
I listen. We discuss. We usually agree and then, I change the subject... except he's not done yet...
He goes on, getting louder and louder and LOUDER still, to the point where he is shouting and scaring our child.
Our son actually burst into tears last week because he thought Mommy and Daddy where fighting. We weren't even though my husband was following me around the house shouting and I did tell him to "shut the hell up already".
If you must know, my husband and I claim to be disenchanted Republicans. We both agree with several of the key issues that the Republican party stands for... or at least, what they used to stand for. However, we also disagree with some big ones, too.
(I'm not interested in starting a debate, so won't bother to say which issues...)
The funny thing is I don't recall my husband being this passionate about politics during the last Presidential election. Nope, nope. We had to move OUT OF THE COUNTRY and ACROSS THE OCEAN for that to happen.
Of course, this time four years ago, I was listening to similar rants from my best friend (then roommate).
She also liked to quote FoxNews every night when she came home from work except it was always in agreement, rather than disgust... (smirk)
