The Democrats are Screwed
As I’ve stated in the past, I don’t like to discuss politics on dates, or with potential dates. Discussing such touchy subjects on a first date usually leads to no second date, and discussing it prior to a date, usually leads to no date at all. So when the woman I spoke to last night on the phone asked me who I was supporting in the presidential race, I was hesitant to answer - but I did anyway. When I told her Obama was my man, she got a bit perturbed.
“How could you support him? Didn’t you hear what Bush said about him today?,” she whined. “He’s gonna appease the terrorists.”
I sighed - and then I wanted to hang up on this uninformed fool. A buck says she doesn’t even know what “appease” means - not that Bush does.
I already had a conversation like this on an actual date, and I didn’t want to go there again. I managed to change the subject, and ended the conversation with my standard blow off line: “Let’s touch base later next week.”
In the meantime, this chick can spend her time waiting for me to call again while sitting in between these two:
