I am friendly with a lot of Republicans. I really dont have a problem with disagreeing with my friends over politics...

But... Some people really piss me off and I know a lot of Conservatives like this...

A family member of my wife's, thus a family member of mine... Graduated with a Bachelor's degree a couple years ago, after nine years in College. She went to an out of state school for 9 years, her parents paid for 100% of school and living expenses. For the first year after school she lived with her parents in a very fancy Mc. Mansion. She could not keep a job as a computer programer. Finally her parents made a down payment on a nice house for her and she moved out. She pays the mortgage but only when she is employed, they pay when she is not.

She has a serious pre-existing condition and is a contract employee at her job that does not pay health insurance.. so her parents have her insured as an employee of there business. They pay 100% of the premium.

She is Gay.

1) She is a rabid Republican and belives we should do away with the student loan program and Public Universities.
2) She is upset at Fanny Mae and does not belive the government should be asisting first time home buyers.
3) She hates Obamacare and believes is is just a government giveaway.
4) The only issue she agrees with the Democrats about is Gay Rights.

She loves to point to her nice house and job and tell people how if she can do it without Government assistance why cant everyone.

If you point out any of these inconsistancies she gets very, very angery.

That was completely irrelevant. Anecdotal ad hominems, even if they do exists, don't prove anything.

To call her inconsistent is an understatement....

The women has problems in many ways and her parents are enablers....there is no logic in the world that would make her a Conservative....but she is free
to call herself a member of any political party she wants.....she can call herself a donkey if she wants.

Calling yourself a Democrat or Republican is purely up to your whim.....just as calling yourself a Democrat doesn't make you a liberal, calling yourself a
Republican doesn't make you a conservative or calling yourself an a rocket scientist doesn't make you one.

So don't give us the bullshit that this gal even resembles a Conservative or Republican in the true sense of what the label implies to the general public....
 
this is typical of low information voters. they have an 'idea' about political leanings, but never bothered to learn about the details of them. sadly, most people that lean liberal or conservative are like this.

She and her parents are very active in Republican politics, her mother is a former elected official. They give lots of money to the GOP and vote stright Republican.
 
I know several who live on the dole with SS and Medicare and such and still are devout Fox followers, talking down about others on the dole.

It is a common human failiing.
Failure to see ones self as others see you.

Did those people pay SS and Medicare taxes throughout their working careers?

Yep same with medicare and medicaid.

and I did not say friends did I, just that I know people who do that.

It seems that most everyone has to have someone to look down upon to make themselves feel better.

I do not have that problem since I am far above everyone in all respects.
