I have two liberal friends who are married that I have known for over 20 years. They cannot discuss Iraq, tax cuts, or the economy beyond shallow catch phrases. It’s pathetic and I have had to bite my tongue from not outright calling them stupid. And mind you, this is when they are in my house telling me about some low poll number and that I am the only person they know who thinks the way I think! Arrrrrrrrrrrggggh!
