If than is your normal group, I would hate to see your abnormal group.
We are friends from work.
The one who isn`t happy about Obama I have worked with for 20 years now at two different jobs...he knows my politics and I know his.
The other one is a sales rep from my days at NAPA and is a bit younger.
An interesting point is that when things are framed as overtly political they will follow the party line but when it comes to everyday life and actions they are very conservative in their views and outlooks.
They understand the damage done to the state and local budgets by the teachers unions but if you make that a Republican/democrat issue then they backpedal.
Regardless of that they are my friends and I would do anything in the world for them and they likewise for me I think.
Many aspects to life and how it is lived.
