Abe Marcus: Democrats are going to tank this country.
Abe Marcus: They could have passed the bill but wouldn’t.
sharna: what?
Abe Marcus: check the stock market
sharna: but republicans
sharna: are the people who didn’t sign the bill
sharna: it was just a few democrats
sharna: explain your logic
Abe Marcus: they didn’t need the republicans to pass it. The got it changed to meet their wants and then they tank it.
Abe Marcus: sad day for the Democrats
sharna: why didn’t the republicans vote for their president’s bill?
Abe Marcus: the market crashes and the Democrats will be the cause
sharna: that logic is silly
sharna: but funny
Abe Marcus: Bush was being too liberal and sucked up to the democrats. the conservatives didn’t like the bill as he changed it to accommodate the Dems

sharna: interesting
Abe Marcus: Bye I’m going to watch the Sox game.

sharna: what do you think? (is your money ok?)
Abe Marcus: Democrats are going to tank this country. (I hate Barack Obama)
Abe Marcus: They could have passed the bill but wouldn’t. (There is nothing you can do to convince me to vote for him. Especially that stupid Sarah Silverman video)
sharna: what? (here we go)
Abe Marcus: check the stock market (don’t worry about me, you’re the one who works for a not for profit)
sharna: but republicans (which I still can’t believe I’m related to one)
sharna: are the people who didn’t sign the bill (and you’re not one socially, thank God)
sharna: it was just a few democrats (and wtf is wrong with them?)
