A wingnut acquaintance told me today that "The Republican Party is behind the middle class."

[11 Bravo]

My response was, "Yeah, they've been there for years, and that explains our rectal bleeding."
She literally sputtered. (I'm pretty much through with trying to make nice.)

[some guy]

1. damn, that was good.

I *was* going to say something about trying to steal wallets, but no way I could match your response, so I won't even try.

:applause:

2. They can't stab you in the back unless they are behind you.

7. another great response.

[KansDem]

8. My late uncle, who was a traveling salesman for a tool company, used to say...

Watch out for folks who pat you on your back...they're probably looking for a soft spot to stick the knife...

You learn a lot about life from uncles who are traveling salesmen...

[Jackpine Radical]

13. My wingnut acquaintance was praising Herman Cain

I said (in my best fake German accent) "NEIN NEIN NEIN!!"

Wow. That was a GREAT conversation ender. LOL

[meow2u3]

14. The GOP is behind the middle class, all right!

Ready to push them off a cliff when they least expect it.

[polichick]

15. I guessed what was coming, but that was even more colorful than I imagined...

I'm done making nice too - the more truths spoken, the better.

[arcane1]

[JHB]

[tsuki]

24. Or a plank. They all seem to be pirates. nt

[TheWraith]

19. Hah, before I read your message, by first thought of a response was

"Of course. That's the easiest position for a prison rape."

[2pooped2pop]

20. lol that was similar to my response but you said it better n/t

[Major Nikon]

21. The one thing that's been consistent about the GOP is they have NEVER been behind the middle class

The GOP started out as a party of progressives, but even then they were still the party of the 1%. They always have been and probably always will be. It's really the only thing that's been consistent about their ideology.

[Mister Ed]

22. The Republican party is behind the middle class...

...disappearance.
