I was in Costco yesterday when I saw someone wearing a W t-shirt.

[Tim4319]

I was tempted to ask was he happy with his selection of President. I never got the nerve up, I didn't feel like getting into a debate. So, has anyone in the DU nation ever confronted a "Forest W. Gump" supporter and asked them are they satisfied with whom is occupying 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue? If so, what happened?

[Joj Bush]

1. That's ok

At least he's inadvertently donating to Democrats. Don't scare him away.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

36. Yes, ironic bemusement would be the best response to such a situation.

[ET Awful]

2. I would have asked him why he was shopping at a liberal place like

Costco. "Why don't you go to Sam's Club?" :)

[marmar]

7. That's what I was thinking...

Surely he hasn't visited buyblue.org. He'd feel more comfy in Wal-Mart-owned Sam's Club,

[peace frog]

13. Shhhh! Don't alert the freepers, let 'em keep spending

their red-state dollars with our buy-blue organizations. <Insert shit-eatin' grin here>

[Tim4319]

32. True!

[Dudley_DUright]

3. He must have wandered in thinking it was a Wal-mart

:evilgrin:

[chaumont58]

12. It's hard to wander into a Costco, they ask for a card

Its been a while since I been in one. They especially require one at checkout time.

4. this might make you feel a little better.

yesterday on I-95 we passed a truck with texas plates.
on the back window a W'04 sticker with an x of white tape over it.

we gave him a honk and a wave.

[Tim4319]

6. That did put a smile on my face!

[TheFarseer]

5. I've had a few run ins with family members

They complain about the war in Iraq or outsourcing or tax cuts for the rich and I tell them, "you voted for it!" And they say, no I didn't I voted for moral values. I tell them it's a package deal and they just can't accept that. Weird!

[quisp]

10. they need to read...

What's the Matter With Kansas.
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/080507774X/qid=1120845167/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/102-7101205-0524947

it explains the shell game of voting for "moral values" and getting war, voting for fewer abortions and getting tax cuts for the rich.

it's a great read.

[TheFarseer]

15. I actually got that for my dad for Father's Day

He thinks it has good points but he doesn't like the condescending tone.

[jsw_81]

11. Hilarious and sad at the same time

The recent book "What's the Matter With Kansas" is all about how Republicans successfully conned middle America into falling for this "moral values" crap.

Edit: It looks like quisp beat me by a few seconds. :)

17. My relatives will say they don't want any more government

programs, like national health insurance. Of course, they all have great pensions and health insurance, like through hospitals and government jobs

[TheFarseer]

31. It's easy to convince my parents that gov't programs are OK

A farmer who is against gov't programs has lost his mind. For one thing, they'd be broke in no time flat without subsidies and for another, my folks wouldn't have electricity without REA.

In fact my dad said something that had my jaw on the floor the other day. "Republicans always want to scalp the farm program and Democrats always save us. Democrats have got to get some morals so people can vote for them, cause we need them"

[tsuki]

34. He doesn't think saving family farms is moral?

[AndyTiedye]

25. Lying Us Into a War IS Their Version of "Moral Values". So is Torture.

[Sapphire Blue]

35. They should examine the 'moral values' they voted for... lying, greed,

... bigotry & hatred come to mind.

[stepnw1f]

8. I've Seen a Few Take Their Stickers Off Their Cars

People are waking up. Some are still asleep.

[jsw_81]

9. It's not worth the risk of getting in a fight

The species known as freeperus ignoramicus is very dangerous if provoked in its natural habitat. Known for its tiny, walnut-sized brain, this fellow will usually resort to physical violence when confronted by facts, logic or any combination of the two. It is best to keep a safe distance.

[utopian]

16. Either that or he'll call you a faggot

And smugly think he's won the debate.

[jsw_81]

21. It's usually either 'faggot' or 'commie'

Typical freeper behavior. :eyes:

[fudge stripe cookays]

28. Like Sam's caller yesterday.

What a maroon. I loved the way he roasted the idiot.

14. A guy at a 4th of July BBQ I was at had a W campaign shirt

He looked young and healthy. I was so tempted to ask him why he was here eating and enjoying the holiday instead of defending America in Iraq, but I had to be on good behavior because I was a guest at the party.

So I just avoided him, talked to my friends and family.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

18. I did ask someone if they were happy that gas is 2.40/gallon

they looked back like DUH. typical W voter.

[HockeyMom]

19. Never saw anybody with a Pro Bush shirt,

but I did see a guy in the bank few weeks ago with a "Bush is not MY President" shirt. Couple of people on the line asked him where he got it.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

20. You should tell them Costco is a BLUE company-gives all their $$ to Dems

[fudge stripe cookays]

29. No, DON'T.

Let them keep spending their money there so Costco gets stronger, and Wal-Mart continues to flounder. ;-)

22. When I see some one with anything that pro Bush

I always tell them if I have the chance: " If you like him so much why don't you go fight in Iraq that way may-be one of the other true soldiers all ready there can come home to see their family.

[indepat]

23. A.o.k. to wear W t-shirt or to praise him: bbbaaddd to to bad-mouth

him or his policies, actions, or pre-emptive war(s). Bbbaaddd.

[jojo54]

24. A house near me has a big W on siding paper

The window next to it is supposed to indicate the zero, then there's a 4, so it's W 04.

Think about this - it's on siding paper and it's been this way ever since. Something tells me this person doesn't give a shit about his house being half finished with new siding.

What a mindfuck.

[GeekMonkey]

27. This is my favorite T-shirt:

[Fescue4u]

30. Id say yes

"I was tempted to ask was he happy with his selection of President."


SInce he was wearing the shirt, he proably is satisfied and incomprehensible as that may be.

I mean estate.
