Here is my experience: A couple days ago, I went into our local Vons in Bonita, CA (San Diego County). As I walked in, I noticed a Dem at the entrance, registering dumbocrats for Kerry/Edwards and some other local dim politico. What was curious to me (and something I had seen at another Vons here) was her registration table: an ironing board. I had wondered the first time I had seen it what that was supposed to mean, so on the way out the other day, I stared again. The young lady saw me, and asked if i wanted to register to vote and help defeat Bush. "No", I told her, "I am already a happily registered Republican". "However", I continued, "I am wondering about that ironing board. Is it supposed to mean something?"
The young lady replied that it was traditional...symbolic...that they could not afford to buy a table. "You see", she said, "Democrats are poor".
Flabbergasted, I pointed out to her that kerry was a very rich man.
"But I am poor", she replied.
Laughing now, I told her "Maybe Kerry can buy you a table, then!!" as I walked off to my car.
No fingers or anything, tho I am certain she was calling me a Biatch under her breath.
Several weeks ago I was stopped on a Washington DC street by a young, nubile liberal lady who asked me, "Wouldn't you like to fire George W. Bush?" I responded, "First please answer a question that has me perplexed...why is Bill Clinton's book located under 'nonfiction' in Barns and Noble?" She responded, "I don't know what Barns and Noble's policy is?" I said, "Okay, now what was your question?"
The light came on and she said, "Oh, NEVER MIND!"
lol....I had a young kid in downtown Seattle walk up in a DNC t-shirt and ask the same question.I just looked at him and replied "Socialism is for losers."
I have to give him credit: it took a lot of guts to walk up to a 6'2 man in a suit and ask such a obviously stupid question. I know I'd never do it.
no snapping except when i was approached and asked if i would "help defeat George Bush" i replied "No Thanks Kerry Sucks!" and kept walking she looked at me dumbfounded and said THANK YOU that is my experience thus far Exact same experience here. The DNC has workers on the streets in Boston:
"Would you like to help defeat George Bush?"
When I say "HELL no," their dumbfounded looks are priceless. But wait a minute, doesn't everyone think George Bush is Hitler?
