I don't know how you'd set it up, (without Fox News drowning it all out and calling it all a sham) but how can we set up these kinds of dialogue interactions post election? It would have to be a bi-partisan effort and the Republicans will be so butt-hurt they probably wouldn't want them.

It was so obvious they were Fox viewers. Spouting the right wing talking points. When the mother started tearing up over losing her friend I had no sympathy for her. There was a definite lack of criticial thinking skills in that family. And the do away with regulations bs as the cause of losing jobs? Obviously they don' t get that it was the greed of Wall Street that sent their jobs to China, India and Mexico. They forced these companies to show big quarterly gains and big CEO pay.

She even called it Sissyfication.

But they are deeply offended when someone calls them racists. That offends them.

So they want the freedom to hurl insults at Mexicans; call them rapists. But don't you dare call them racists because it hurts their feelings.
