[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Assuming you aren't a troll, he probably thinks your career is a joke and has zero respect for the work you do. If you're ok with that, then you're fine.[/quote]

Conservative here. Wrong. My mom was a doctor and my wife is a lawyer. I respect their work.[/quote]

If you try to raise a daughter with a progressive partner, what do you do about your pro choice partner teaching your daughter to fight for pro choice values?  There is no middle ground on this issue.  You either belive you forced birther view must be imposed on everyone including your children, or you believe in choice.[/quote]

DP. You're assuming, PP, that "conservative" = "forced birther anti-abortion stance." Not always true. The forced birthers shout the loudest but there are conservatives out there who are pro-choice and pro-privacy. Don't assume everyone is the same everywhere. [/quote]

This is magical thinking.  The GOP is directly responsible for our daughters reproductive rights being terminated.  [/quote]

Yes. And you are once again making an assumption that every "conservative" supports the GOP or supports an end to abortion. You missed the idea that there are still some conservatives, even some who still call themselves Republicans, who abhor the GOP of today and what it's doing. Making broad-brush assumptions is a great way to annihilate any shots at getting those conservatives to work with liberals on fighting for abortion access. [/quote]

DP but no.  Stating facts is not "annihilat[ing] any shots at getting those conservatives to work with liberals."  It's stating facts.  The idea that there exist a group of 1) conservatives that 2) abhor the GOP of today, and 3) support abortion rights, but 4) need to be carefully wooed by liberals to join them in supporting access to abortion, and 5) that wooing includes pretending that ending abortion isn't a GOP goal and accomplishment that has been celebrated at all levels of the party, *is* magical thinking.

But it lines right up with the guy upthread who said he doesn't agree with the GOP on anything anymore but can't imagine voting D unless they pull a unicorn out of their hat designed to appeal to him and him alone.  The PP who said that those pretending to disagree with the party but still voting for them are "some combination of dumb, weak, hypocrites, or lying about their actual views" hit the nail on the head.[/quote]
