"Give me $6500.00"

[democrat_patriot]

My Dad: "huh?"

Me: "that's how much Medicare will go up under Romney - minimum. You're voting for him, can I have $6500 to make up the difference?"

My Dad: "Really? $6500? I'm sure Rush will explain it, and it'll make sense. That can't be true"

Yes, this really happened.

Although, my Dad won't even speak to me any more. I'm an "intellectual socialist"...

4. Maybe your Dad will talk to me, as I'm merely an

2. We speak. Rarely about politics anymore.

Holidays are fun - I'm usually outnumbered.

It usually ends with: "Give me your SS check, or your a hypocrite."

Oh yeah - they go to church and everything, I always call them 'good christians' as they vote against the poor.
