At a party last night: "I guess you're the only Democrat in the neighborhood." |
|
That was the opening conversation gambit of an acquaintance at a largish cocktail party in our neighborhood. 30 or so neighbors.
I do live in a predominantly repug neighborhood, in a predominantly repug town, in a predominantly repug county. About 75-25 according to recorded votes.
But why would a guy I've known for 16 years think that's a good way to begin a conversation? Maybe he thought it was funny? Trying to needle me? Who knows.
I told him I wasn't but also asked him if that mattered to him. He gave me the 'heh heh heh' and didn't answer. I pointed out 5 or 6 others in the crowd that were Democrats. Maybe I'm just more 'out loud' about it than the rest. :shrug:

4. Amazing how repugs have to beat their chests in order to validate themselves. |
|
It doesn't sound like someone confident of their political philosophy.
