I totally went off on two Republican women in a restaurant today.
 Advertisements [?]I had dental work done today, so I don't exactly feel wonderful, and while standing in line at a restaurant to take out food, two women in line behind me were talking about how scary things were with the economy right now. One commented she had never seen a time when things were worse.

Then the other said that John McCain mentioned that Barack Obama's statement that he might delay his tax increases was just proof of how damaging Obama's tax hike would be to the economy.

That's when I let loose.

I turned around and told them that they probably didn't like McCain's tax hike plan, either. They said he was going to lower taxes, and I told them, NO, he is going to start making people pay taxes on any health benefits they receive from their employer. And I told them to check it out for themselves if they didn't believe me.

Then I told them that McCain couldn't be trusted because of his involvement with the savings and loan scandal. I told them to look up info on the "Keating Five." Then I mentioned how McCain used his office to cover up his wife's misuse of regulated drugs, which she was stealing from her charity that she set up as a cover to hide her abuse.

The women were shocked. I told them they wouldn't hear about this on the news, because the conservative owners of the media in this country had been covering up for Republicans for decades, and that there is no such thing as the liberal media. It's all a fallacy.

I could tell they didn't believe me, so I asked them to name a liberal television anchor, radio host, etc., and they both named Olbermann. One of them also said Rachel, but I can't remember her last name.

Then I asked them if they knew of any others. They didn't. So then I said, in contrast to the two liberals we know of, there's Rush, Sean, Dr. Laura, Glen Beck, Tucker Carlson, Joe, etc., who are all conservative. Then I asked them how was it that the liberal media had so few liberal hosts, and an overwhelming number of conservative hosts. They had no answer for that one.

I told them they should research on their own instead of believing what they heard on the news, because it was propaganda and that the media's corporate ownership benefited more from Republicans in office than Democrats.

I left by telling them that the deregulation policies of the Republican Party, going back decades, were responsible for what we're seeing today, and that if McCain was elected it would be four more years of the same thing we're seeing now. Then I reminded them that on Monday McCain was telling us all that the fundamentals of the economy were OK, and that when someone finally told him they weren't, he changed his story. Just like he did about offshore drilling, and all the other things he's flip flopped on.

And I reminded them that his VP nominee is a documented liar, and that she continues to lie to our faces, even though it's been widely published that she's lying.

In the line several people back was a girl who was nodding her head in agreement, and one of the guys behind the counter said he agreed with me.

I don't know if it did any good, but it made me feel better. I'm so sick of Republicans!

He has swerved past the difficulty of reconstructing conversation and gone straight for inventing a rant.  Very poor.

Somehow, I can't help but think a person couldn't get that far in the conversation most of the time without being told to STFU and mind their own business.

That's when I let loose...

And then they turned around and told me to **** off and mind my own business. I stood in line FUMING and giving them dirty looks and sighing LOUDLY at every comment they made (even when they were only talking about how their gardens were doing...people are starving to death and these women are talking about roses for cryin' out loud). Right then and there I started going through the way the scenario SHOULD have gone if they weren't such closed minded neocon white trash Sarah Palin supporters. They probably wouldn't have the good sense to abort a downs syndrome baby either. Well, lest I lost my train of thought, I started writing "the little conversation that should have been" as soon as I got back to my car. I kept thinking of more and more important points on the drive home...I was so enthralled with my own brilliance I nearly ran a stop sign! By the time I pulled into my rent controlled apartment parking lot I'd pretty much convinced myself this really, really happened. Naturally I posted it on DU. No one else would belie...uh, recognize my uncanny ability to speak truth to power...even if it was only in my own mind.

Excellent!

I've been working on a device called the DU-to-Truth translator. What you do is input the DUmmie text and the device attempts to translate the text into truth based upon several different factors. This device is still very much a work in progress so the output is not yet 100% accurate. Below is the result after inputting the above Bouncy. Just keep in mind that since this machine is a work in progress the output could be complete inaccurate...

D2T translation:
 
I totally whacked-off after seeing two Republican women in a restaurant today. I had dental work to fix some meth damage so I wasn't feeling too wonderful until I saw these two hot babes. As great as they looked I knew they had to be Republicans. They were talking about how crazy I looked. One commented she never knew you could put pants on a turd.

Then the other said that they should just ignore my stares and hope I would go away.

That's when I spoke up.

I told them they had to be the hottest women that I ever saw and asked if they'd like to check out a good time with me.

Then I told them that I didn't have much money and even less morals.

The women were shocked. I told them they hadn't been dirty until they've been with a dirty hippy.

I could tell they couldn't believe what they were hearing so I asked if they'd open up if I gave them some drugs.

I told them that they should do some personal research on drugs because what the news said was propaganda. I then told them that drugs helped make me the man I was today.

In the line several people back was a girl who finally had enough and said she was calling the cops and one of the guys behind the counter said he agreed with her so I left before the cops got there.

When I got home I fantasized about the two woman as I did the deed, and it made me feel better. I'm so amazed at the hotness of Republican women!

Then I decided that it'd be real good for my DUmmie street cred if I fabricated a tale about how I told the two babes off and post it on DU.

48. It sounds like you did a great job schooling them
 I usually just loose my cool and end up sounding like an idiot.

What's your excuse the rest of the time?

So I'm driving around Baltimore, minding my own business, when two tree huggers jumped out in front of my car chanting pro-Obama slogans.  They must've seen my "Maverick/Barracuda" sticker.  Well, I just totally went off on them.  After running them over, I hopped into the ambulance with them because there was no way I was gonna let these two off the hook without first giving them a piece of my mind.  I told them to look up Obama's connection to the domestic terrorists called the Weathermen, then to look up his connection to the former CEO of Fanny Mae!  After setting them up with those two fastballs, I K'd them with my devastating change-up... I reminded them that their guy says taxing the shit out of people is "patriotic," and that's just downright dumb.  You should have seen the look on their faces, under all that tread!  I then hopped out of the ambulance, hi-5ed the neocon cop who just got home from oppressing civil liberties in St. Paul, jumped in my gass guzzling Chevy and drove away with my A/C on "hi."  Ha ha ha, I sure showed those guys!        

I'd give ya 2 bongs for that Bouncy, RO.
