All the more to vote for Bush. I'm sure this lady is going to vote for Kerry.

A nice guy in our church recently passed away. At the memorial service I wish his friend didn't bring up the fact that the deceased was an avid Kerry fan as it took away from the nice thoughts I had of him for a moment. (I will remember him kindly as I knew him - and not for his political views - which didn't enter into our conversations). One of the things that the deceased regreted was not living long enough to vote for Kerry.

Our Pastor (avid conservative) probably wouldn't have mentioned anything political, but after the friend spoke our pastor said a few words. He mentioned that at the grave-side service there were several things placed on the casket. One of them was a Kerry button. He mentioned that the Democrats are probably glad to hear of such devotion that the deceased would have this button close to his heart. The Republicans were glad to have one less Kerry button visible!

I mentioned to our pastor after the service and in private that I was glad he showed such restraint and didn't say "Well, just being dead hasn't stopped a democrat from voting before". He laughed and said "Chicago- 1960".
