A right-wing co-worker of mine took a short questionnaire to see who he should vote for.
He sent an email around to everyone with a link to a short quiz;

This one

I went in and asked him "Well, who did it say is your ideal candidate?"

With an expression and tone of voice that could easily be described as dour he said

"Obama" :spray: (The other day this guy loudly announced to everyone that would listen that if a Democrat was elected, it "will ruin business")

(me) "So, what's wrong with that? You're not so bad! We need a change in this country. It's a good thing that someone other than an old white guy could be President."

(him) "What, don't you like McCain?"

(me) "I prefer my Presidents to be somewhat less than nuts."

(him) "What about Romney? You didn't like Romney?"

(me) "I also prefer that my Presidents don't first look to an invisible man in the sky to help them govern. This is a secular, Liberal, Democratic Republic. There are enough Theocracies in the world. We don't need another."

I turned and walked out of his office as he let out a Tweety-like "HA!"

I thought it was hilarious that a guy who thinks Bush is actually doing a good job found out he is more aligned with Barack.

Made my day, I tells ya.

4. Actually, HE sent the email around...
which I thought was funny as well.

The fact is, he is probably more of a progressive thinker than he wants to admit. That's what made it so amusing.
