1984 - OK again

Lunch yesterday was slightly marred by a trip into political land. Everything was going along nicely. No one was talking politics or religion. But we had a new comer to the group. And after two hours of niceness she blurts out, 'You know we've got to get rid of Obama'. 

I just said, ' No we don't. He's a lot better than the alternative.' She counters with, 'Well it's good that Ryan's on the ticket now.' I counter with, 'He's twice as bad as Romney.' 

My friend Frank then jumps in and tells her the rules. I wish he would have said something to her beforehand. It's getting hard to keep my mouth shut when the ditto heads start talking.

That said......

If she's one of the religious conservatives, point her to my blog and have her explain her support...

Very intriguing about the bills.

There's no excuse for conservatism.

I love these.
I have come to realize that one can not reason with those that are unreasonable and God knows the right is unreasonable.

I shutter when people talk about politics...it's like sex---we all know people do it, I just don't want to know the details.

John - I'll try but I don't know when I'll see her again.

King - Not these days there's not.

Peg - Amen to that.

Lizbeth - Especially when the details are tainted.

Politics and lunch do not mix. Poor digestion.

Mike said...

Grand - Yes indeed.
