Arizona republican Holly Solomon, 28, was arrested Monday after running over her husband, Daniel Solomon, following his failure to vote in last week's presidential election. Solomon remains in critical condition, but his vote was not critical to the victory of Democrat Barack Obama.

    “Police said Daniel Solomon told them his wife became angry over his “lack of voter participation” in last Tuesday’s presidential election and believed her family would face hardship as a result of Obama winning another term.”

    Since Arizona’s electoral votes went to Romney, I’m not sure how this one missing vote — for either candidate — could possibly have a more adverse affect on their family than, say, having to pay for lawyers and deal with jail time.

       I think she was angry with all the people who did not vote, and took her anger out on her husband.

      • acerplatanoides

         I think I understand why she dislikes Obama then. It’s exactly as clear.

  • PlutoniumX

    Son, you can’t fix stupid.

    I’m somewhat agog at the belief system that  believes  ”her family would face hardship as a result of Obama winning another term” that would be more significant than having the father of that family run over by an SUV.  Classic “Family Values” fail.  Well, at least in Obama’s America, there’s more of a chance of him getting healthcare.  And hopefully her getting some counseling.

       Homosexuals devalue marriage.  She had to do something.

        They can’t devalue marriage if she does it first!

    Well Diddy said: “vote or die”.  Too soon?

    > believed her family would face hardship as the result of Obama winning another term.

    Well, she was right.

    • fuzzyfuzzyfungus

      Actually, in the teeth of incipient Obammunism, she showed True American Spirit and made her own damn hardship, entirely by force of her own individual initiative and the power of her SUV.

      Right now, a bald eagle wrapped in an American flag is weeping tears of pride.

         How reverse-bootstrappy. 

        • Snig

          How Country songy.

          • acerplatanoides

            I’d run away if I were their dog.

      • travtastic

         She also ran over the bald eagle.

    I’m all for encouraging people to vote, but this is going overboard. Or rather going overhusband. 

  • Vengefultacos

    You mean some tea-party-er has some sort of anger issue? I’m shocked!

     I bet the results of no voting made an impression on him.

    Correction to the Romney volunteer manual:
    Page 3, paragraph 2: Should say “You can volunteer to drive likely Republican voters who haven’t yet voted over to the polls” instead of “You can volunteer to drive over likely Republican voters who haven’t voted”

      Ugh, terrible puns like that really grind my gears. How could you transmission something like that? Now it’s going to be allover my dashboard.

      • Felton / Moderator

        Wheel try to curb the puns, just so you don’t blow a gasket.

        • daev

           That’s blow a seal.

          /and leave my personal life out of this… (ARF!)

    • acerplatanoides

      He told her to curb it.

    I guess her philosophy was “If you don’t vote, you have no right to complain about me running over you.”

  • IronEdithKidd

    This, too, the lady will blame on Obama. 

  • Mitchell Glaser

    Some of these Republicans didn’t just drink the koolaid, they made their own batch and butt-chugged it!

       What, pray tell, is butt-chugging?

      • Antinous / Moderator

        Squirting alcohol (or any intoxicant) up your ass for faster loading via mucous membrane absorption. Sometimes lethal.

          Enlightening. Thx. I think…

  • Aeron Michaelangelo

    When they got in each other’s grills about voting, the husband was taken off guard by the fact that her’s was a solid piece of aluminum.

  • GawainLavers

    I wonder if she wasn’t particularly upset about him not sharing her Facebook postings…

  • niktemadur

    Something about Arizona and mental illness expressed towards politics and politicians.
    Then remember how Borat’s “Throw The Jew Down The Well” became a gleeful sing-along, in a bar in Arizona.
    Very angry white people over there.  Very, very sick and angry white people.  Poisoned.
