Lost souls, will they ever come around? [View All]

So, today a couple comes into my store, and over-hearing the news on NPR I had on, struck up a dialogue about Iraq, the dishonesty and cronyism in the Bush administration, how their so ashamed of the direction of the country, etc. (people do this a lot in my place, don't know why). After a bit, I asked them maybe we ought to vote for a regime change, restore the checks and balances in our government and vote in more Democratic candidates. Well, they looked at me like I just asked them to bend over for a rectal exam and exclaimed, "huh?" Vote for a Democrat? Like, am I nuts? You think things are bad now, just put Democrats in charge. Unthinkable. I kindly nodded, said have a nice day, enjoy the spring weather. bye!
I've heard this quite a few times lately. Folks around here just want a "better" Republican, wouldn't consider voting for a Dem. Weird. I'm in SE Pennsylvania by the way.
