I ran into a group of Kerry/Edward supporters today at lunch time at a local Pizza Hut resturant . They were having what looked like a voting drive meeting and I ignored them as I sat down. I watched and listened as I waited for my order and then finally one of them approached my table where my boss and I were sitting.
My boss is pretty "moderate" yet I am swaying him towards our side by presenting the facts. There were about thirteen adults and four children sporting Kerry/Edwards T-shirts and buttons and they were getting louder and more obnoxious as we sat there.
As the one behemoth of a women approached, I prepared myself. She asked smiling "Can we count on your vote for President Kerry?!" I replied "No, but you can count on me to be on the jury for the war crimes he committed and admitted to before the congress of the United States".
She glaringly looked at me and said that was all a lie made up by the Republicans. At this point another woman walked over and interjected "Bush has done more damage to this country than any other president." I sarcastically replied "Yeah, those damn terrorist attacks occuring daily in New York and Washington and L.A. are really taking a toll on our population. We must have lost atleast a million Americans by now because of his lies and failed policies."
To my utter amazement she replied "Over 10,000 Iraqi citizens have died because of Bush!" I remained calm at this point and asked where she got her numbers. Her reply was "Iraqibodycount.com". I knew at this time I was dealing with the retarded.
I said to her "War is a bitch huh? 24 million people want peace and 10,000 chose to be terrorist and fight against us. Sadly we have lost 1000 of our soldiers in this battle against the terrorist, but we'll get them all eventually."
At this point her face turned red and she yelled out loud "This war is WRONG!! OUR TROOPS SHOULDN'T EVEN BE THERE!!!!!" I then asked her why she is supporting Kerry? (I was grinning at this point) and believe it or not she actually replied "John Kerry is going to bring our soldiers home the day he is inaugurated!"
I stood up at this point and informed her that I was a proud member of FreeRepublic.com, I follow world events, politics and I watched the debates and she had made the wrong choice of person to support, she should have worked for Dennis Kucinich or Ralph Nader. She was peddling misinformation and hopelessly clueless as to Kerry's platform.
At this point the manager came out and said this was not a place to debate politics and asked us to calm down. I walked out with my boss behind me and we just had to stop and yell "FOUR MORE YEARS!" Hehe......good times.
Good for you! Bravo!
Trouble maker! (/sarcasm)
Excellent FReeping!
Good on YOU!!
They are just the anti-Bush type. No idea of what reality is or what is at stake. Guess they are why Florida is a swing state. :-(
Get used to it. Kerryites have a penchant for being overly aggressive to the point of annoyance. I'm surprised that the Pizza Hut manager allowed them to stay and disrupt his customer's meals.
BTW, this reminds me. A couple of days ago, I received a message in my university e-mail account from a Kerry supporting student who was basically abusing state-funded university resources in a partisan effort to try to get votes for Kerry.
They are getting pretty desperate it would seem, and will stop at nothing to try to squeeze out a few more votes.
I was at a McDonald's playland with my flaming Lib SIL. She threw out that "Laura Bush sold Drugs!!" crap.
I told her that she was drinking the Kool-Aid and Kitty Kelly was a nut.
She told me to get my face out of FoxNews and read something on the Internet to get my facts straight.
My poor FReeper widower Hubby nearly sprayed Sprite out his nose!
WWWWWWOOOOOOOHHHHOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD FOR YOU!
Lol I find all to often when there side is losing an argument they go ballistic! Just wait till election day!
YEEEEEEEEE-HAWWWWWWWW!!! You wouldn't be from Texas (as in don't mess with) wouldja? BIG GRIN! BIG APPLAUSE!
Sounds to me like the manager was a Kerry supporter, since he didn't make the "no politics" remark until someone challenged the Kool Aid drinkers who were there before you arrived.
Probably never entered into his calculations that anyone would doubt the "truth."
Believe it or not!? What do you think Kerry means when he keeps telling our Forces, "Help is on the way"!? He fully intends to bring them home ASAP!

Just kidding, but my daughter's new inlaws are TEXAS born and I love them to pieces.

When people throw out the "1,000 people have died in this war".....I always respond with "I believe it's closer to 4,800". They always get this puzzled look on their face and I remind them of the 3,000 who died on 9/11..the USS Cole...and the embassies. They immediately clam up.
If we really added up the total deaths since 9-11 we would be in the 30K's probably if you counted Afghanistan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, etc. I'd rather see it over there than here though!
LOL....George Bush DIDN'T partake in the Vietnam war that was wrong (according to Kerry) and that was bad. And yet they bring it up over and over again...If you don't believe CNNMSNBCABCBS you don't "Get it" either.
These people were truly brainwashed by the DNC. They couldn't argue or defend anything, they spit out the DNC talking points.
(my hubby is the only one who is down to earth because he joined the Marines right out of school. I'm not sure the family was happy with THAT decision!)
