We are hosting a Democrat in our home for a few days, and let me tell you, it's been quite an experience. Carol is a dear friend of long standing who has been living in the Washington, D. C. area for far too long. Outside the Beltway--and Maine is pretty far outside--there are people who actually feel differently than all the people she knows. Two of them are me and my husband, so lately it's been pretty noisy around here. Naturally she loves President Obama, hates Mitt Romney, despises Paul Ryan, loathes FOX News, still fumes over George W. Bush, defends MSNBC and drives a Volvo. She is against voter ID cards, an issue here in Maine at the moment, convinced it's just a Republican ploy to keep the poor and minorities from voting, since of course all Republicans are rich and evil fat cats who hate blacks, Hispanics and the assorted downtrodden. The worst part is that all those stubborn and relentless propaganda-spewing Democrats who dig in their heels and claim that the Republicans are blind to the truth do little to win me over to their way of thinking. Right now she and Mitch are going at it in the kitchen. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah...I can't wait until December.
love the picture!
ReplyDeletebut it's fun with Carol . . . she is dug in . . . but there is a twinkle in her eye that lets me know she knows she is . . .
