Some of My Best Friends Were Democrats


I have been accused of being "stupid" and "blind" for being a Republican who supports Donald Trump. Since I am neither stupid nor blind -- although I do have a hard time reading small print -- I considered if maybe Democrats are the stupid ones for calling me stupid. Reflecting on some of my past close friends who were, and still are, staunch Democrats, I realized it's true! A random sampling of just a few of them follows.

Nancy T. was busted for smuggling cocaine into the country from Mexico. While she was busy inserting drug-filled plastic bags into her vagina she was also the mother of a toddler. I met her years later, in her 50s, when her worst offense was alcohol abuse. I once asked her how she kept up with current events since she didn't read any newspapers or watch any news shows. She explained that her (second, non-smuggling) husband read the New York Times every day and "he tells me what to think."

Joyce J. used abortions as birth control, having six of them during her child-bearing years. (She never had any live children.) A sex addict, she often had intercourse with three men in one night, not at the same time but on "dates" several hours apart. More annoying to me personally, she would keep an open bottle of red wine in her fridge for up to six months, claiming it was "still good" if it was corked.

Jay R. left her husband because he got hurt in an accident and required months of rehab. After 34 years of marriage, she vowed that she wasn't going to, "sit home and take care of him," she took off for Europe. This was ironic since she is a nurse practitioner.

Leo F. dumped me because I voted for George W. Bush, but he had no trouble starting an extra-marital affair two weeks after the birth of his second child. He often told his wife that he would be out of town on business for a few days when he was actually just across town with his mistress.

There were many more, as in my younger years I was also a Democrat and as the saying goes, birds of a feather. I also did stupid and immoral things back then. But I'm older and wiser now, and I'm happy to report I'm a Republican.
