Robust political discussions may not be on the menu for many Americans preparing to celebrate Thanksgiving.
A Quinnipiac University poll released Monday found that about 6 out of 10 voters, or 61 percent, said they hope to avoid talking about politics during the holiday celebrations.
However, the poll also said 29 percent of voters said they are eager to talk about politics.
“A healthy dose of ‘zip it’ will be on the menu as voters acknowledge that if they plan on ‘talking turkey’ over the big meal, it will be about the food and not about politics,” Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Tim Malloy said.

But, but, but...the Dems think politics during holiday get-togethers is the thing to do! It worked so well the last time they tried it. Everybody had a rollicking good time as they were hanging the stockings with care and comparing plans...

I quit dining/associating with any democrat acquaintances about 20 years ago, and I don’t have any democrat relatives that I know of-I like to have unrestricted conversation that is pleasant when I dine/socialize with others...

The leftists have nothing to celebrate—if they had their way the Indians would have genocided whitey.

HA! All our kids are varying degrees of conservative-libertarian. On Thanksgiving we have a lot of fun making fun of libtards.
