Must be really depressing to be a Liberal Democrat.

It sure must be depressing when your entire movement is depressed by a mugshot that cannot be used in campaign materials.

You know -- "Get a Life, Dems!" what a sorry bunch -- I had a guy vomit his lib hatred at me yesterday at the gas pump at Costco. Regular gas was down to $2.72 (Northern CA) and I said (just being friendly), "Hey, did you ever think it would be a bargain to get gas at this price?"

He snarled (literally!) Just look who the president is!
Me: (Surprised) I LIKE President Bush! I think he's doing a great job! (all this with other people pumping gas and listening.)
Him: How could you? Sending young kids off to war! It's all about this (pointing to the pump), you know!
Me: No, it's not.
Him: (Further spewing out vomitous rhetoric of Bush-hatred.)
Me: You know, the great thing about America is that we can have our own opinions and I respect yours. The troops are fighting for that freedom.
Him: (more gnashing of the teeth, finishing up pumping gas and driving away.)
Me: Oh, well. (Smiling at the other people and shrugging my shoulders - feeling sorry for this sorry ol' schmuck.)
