Today I discovered the other mom who volunteers w/ me in class is a Republican

[Shine]

other than that, she's a very nice woman. :D

I'd made the assumption she was a Dem, as we were talking politics and the primaries, and when she said she was a Republican, I was a bit flustered and said, "Oh, sorry." LOL.

I forget sometimes we're not all on the same page. :crazy:

[unpossibles]

1. which kind is she: Extremely wealthy or gullible?

Sorry. That sounded insensitive to her problem.

[Shine]

2. I'm sure their family is well off....and maybe she's gullible, too.

who knows? :shrug:

it's a mystery.

[Orsino]

3. Nobless oblige?

Money does that to the right sort of people.

[unpossibles]

6. I don't understand that mentality

like the "Fiscal Conservative" crowd - it's ok to turn your back on equal rights for your fellow human just so you can save some tax money which you're not really saving as the national debt is growing and growing and your money will just get more worthless?

Ok.

4. I honestly don't blame the red state types for being Republicans, even now, considering

the monstrous image of Democrats/liberals that has been built up by right-wing talk radio and the like.

I mean, if you honestly believed that the Democratic Party was a bunch of little-red-book drones out to take away all your freedoms and send you to a re-education camp, would you vote Democrat? I sure as hell wouldn't.

5. What's particularly strange is that we're on the liberal west coast!

in the Santa Cruz mountains, fer crissakes.

We practically INVENTED the words "progressive liberal"! :D

Like I said, I guess we're not all on the same page. heh.

Oh well.

[bigwillq]

7. Well at least she's nice.

Some of them could be pretty mean. :P ;) :)

Just never talk politics and you should be fine! :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. My dear Shine!

Now that's weird!

I mean, you can hardly be in a more liberal area...

Oh well...I guess they're everywhere, lol!

:hi:

[Chan790]

9. And you didn't smite her?

For shame, Shine. For shame!

j/k. Don't discuss politics with her.

[Skittles]

10. I always assume people are repuke

I always assume the worst

[skygazer]

11. I've done that

In this area, it's always a shock when I meet someone who ISN'T a tree-hugging liberal. :rofl:

She's nice anyway - maybe you can convert her. ;)

[suninvited]

12. Wow, I wish I were from your area !

It is a shock to me when I find a democrat, much less a tree hugging liberal.

Lucky you.

[Jamastiene]

13. My condolences.

:evilgrin:
