My interesting conversation with a Republican

I met a man yesterday who is a business owner. He has a small construction company. He was introduced to me because he used to be a teacher and we were talking about the strike in Chicago. He said he had quit teaching because he couldn't afford to take care of his family, he has a disabled child and his wife wanted to stay home and care for him. So he had to find a job where he could make more money and he ended up starting this construction company, which he said was very successful. We talked for a long time about what's going on in Chicago and he was definitely on the teachers side. One of his employees was there and he made several (incorrect) comments about teaching and public education and the man corrected him every time.

Then he said the strangest thing. He asked me if I was a Democrat or a Republican. I said I was a Democrat. He said "Me too. I'm a registered Democrat. But I think like a Republican."

I must have given him an odd look because he laughed and went on to explain. He lives in Kansas, a very red state, but he thinks the Republicans in Kansas are crazy. He doesn't want to boost their numbers. So he registers as a Democrat, has done so for years. So I asked him well, how do you vote - that's what matters. He said he votes for Democrats. Again, he wants the Republicans in his home state to fail. He thinks they're insane.

Then he asked me what I thought about the health care bill. I said I supported it. He said he didn't
know what to think about it until just a month ago he got a check from his insurance company for $3000 because of that bill. And now if anyone running for office says anything about repealing it, they've lost his vote. I asked if he thought other business owners felt that way and he said definitely, he knew quite a few who appreciated that refund.

I think I said here a couple months ago those refunds were going to help Obama win in November.

The campfire's dominated by lumpenunterprimitiven, the primitives of no prominence, the faceless lynch mob, so no comments worth bringing over.

4. He did mention talk radio

He said he believed most people were like him. They think like Republicans and the talk radio nuts didn't speak for most people.

Ho-hum.

So she talked to a democrat and tries to claim that he is somehow a republican.  :mental:

If he really thought like a republican he would NOT vote for democrats ever.

I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

Actually, I think a little bit of something happened, and Anne made the rest of it up.

She does things like that.

Mr. Rodgers wants to know, "Can you say bullshit children?"
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

I thought business owners who got refunds had to distribute the refunds to employees or use it to lower premiums the following year....
When Harry Truman was President of the United States, he had a sign on his desk in the White House that said: "The buck stops here." If Barack Obama had a sign on his desk, it would say: "The buck stops with Bush." - Thomas Sowell

I used to think DUmmies simply made this crap up for whatever DUmmie reason but now I see most of them as having full blown psychotic breaks.

Bouncys are starting to remind me of ancient fairy stories in some aspect. Or UFO contactee stories from the 1950s and 1960s. All that is missing is the "Republican" giving them a pancake or asking for a glass of water.

Pretty soon they'll have exact days for the end of the world and holding cult meetings in bomb shelters. Or maybe they already do that.
