Excuse the cynics here...the working assumption on newbies who post vanities is that they are trolls...it is also true 90% of the time...
It does somewhat concern me, however, that the way you live your life and conduct yourself doesn't allow folks to know that you are a conservative. Unless, of course, you are not.
As movie director David Zucker says," When you meet, you give each other a secret look--'Are you a Republican too?' It's the new gay."
Notice that I wrote “had”, so MW is not coming right out and saying they won’t come because these lefties actually “have” fleas, and they don’t want fleas.
It suggests a coy, playful reticence on the noobs’ part: that their hosts have treated for fleas and are now flea-free, and yet they remain shy, somewhat hesitant . . . suggesting something in the future possibly, after Sarah is VP so they can come over and say `Boo-yah! over-and-over.
(Head lice? That might be even better: `We heard your children might have head lice.’?)
Be careful of overzealous Obamanites. I for one would avoid, because inevitably when you try to voice your conservative principals you will just be shouted down. They don’t care for discussion or reason, just emotion and platitudes will suffice.
No, I am a conservative...long story short, my husband and I are rock climbers. As you can imagine, most of these people are granolas and far lefties. The last time politics came up, I was basically assaulted and couldn’t get a word in edge-wise. Honestly, I’m not a good debater because I get so worked up when I need to just stay calm...Anyway, I’ve tried to avoid political conversations, as I’ve tried to avoid one with this woman, but now something has to be said. thank you for your advice.
Welcome to FR!
"Thanks, I'd like that but I've organized a McCain/Palin debate party here. I'm sorry you won't be coming. Maybe next time when she's running for president."

Good luck
(I'm a blast at family get-togethers with my wife's Long Island-liberal family!!! - so in the words of Mel Brooks, they know to "get off of the politics"!)
Welcome!
Everyone has to have a first day, even the plank owners.

Thank You UpInArms-And thanks everyone for your advice. I appreciate it.
OR...
If you want to remain friends, acquiesce to everything they say. That's how RINOs do it.

You aren't a friend if you don't.....and if they get mad at you. Get new friends.
Thank you!
Click the link that was left in that post...
I am sure Free Republic would thank you too.
Honestly it’s not worth going. All you are going to do is intentionally put yourself into a situation where you are surrounded by hostile liberals on their home turf.
Unless you feel like a fight which is what I’m apt to do sometimes. I still have one lib here at work reeling from something I told him last week.
“How did you manage to keep quiet so long???”
I think people suspected, but I never confirmed. I’m pretty sure they all know we have guns because I’ve invited them all out shooting with us before (to which they declined, of course) but for some reason they didn’t make the connection, maybe? I guess you can still own guns and be a lib though...
I’d say, stay in the closet, go, and laugh hysterically at each and every Biden gaffe.
They’ll be as horrified as if you took a dump in the middle of their living room carpet.
And you’ll end up not having to spend any more time with those two after that night.
Hey, thanks for sending that to me. I loved his line about Matt Damon. This guy should run for office.
