Never partner with a freeper to play online cards.

I was playing spades at MS Game Zone. Someone got booted and we were waiting for their return, when my partner struck up this conversation.

Partner: Where is everyone from?

Me: Ohio

Partner: Oh. That's an important state with the upcoming election and all. I'm from Alabama.

Me: Yep. A battleground state.

(pause)

Me(no doubt just as curious as she is about who is voting for whom): But, the way things are going, Bush will be at 10% approval by November and it won't matter :)

Partner: Oh dear I hope not. I couldn't stand it if we had a president who supported abortion.

(other guy comes back we go on playing)

Me: Lol. You actually think abortion will be illegal again some day? lmao

Partner: I hope so.

Me: No way. The population supports it overwhelmingly. The republicans would lose too many voters if they ever followed through and there aren't enough kooks to make up for it.

Partner: (silence)

Me(after fuming over it for a while): Yeah, ya know, it is way better to kill them by cluster bombs , torture , cutting social programs and environmental destruction now that I think of it.

Me: I can't play with someone that supports this administration. Sorry, I think you need an early taste of what November will be like for you.

Me: (Resigns. Giving myself and partner a loss)

I just couldn't stay any longer. How far must your head be up your butt to decide that all the evil of this administration is worth it because they might ban abortion? I mean even if you are the most gung-ho abortion nutjob, maybe you are even a clinic terrorist or something, it isn't like abortion is legal right now and surely the evils of this administration outweigh a single issue.

I'm trying to listen to the crickets.

maybe we can partner sometimes!!!!

P.S. CatWoman = not a freeper :D

I would have left, too!!!

in a 2 more hands. :)

But I couldn't resist! I was just imagining the the look on her face as her 1900 rating took a tumble for mentioning she supported Bush, and I had to do it. :)

I PM'd my zone name. Done for today but we can play some time if you want. :)

I'm at work now, and can't play here anyhow.

I don't want to have to download stuff to play games that Yahoo lets me play without hassle.

No matter where you go, you'll run into Freepers. When I sit down to play cards, I don't discuss politics.

of just once :) (Well I suppose not if it stays in your cache) I play Yahoo sometimes too but have found it too clunky and slow for my taste.

I usually don't do politics either (well sometimes in the lobby) but since she brought it up I was curious and then astounded and disgusted.

I don't actually have to install anything.

Employers look a blind eye when the office is slow, but installing software which almost certainly contains adware is never a good idea.
