I Hate it When my Neighbor is BBQing when I come home

[WestHoustonDem]

I just came home with my daughter from a candidate meet and greet. It was a great mother/daughter outing. She held her own with some pretty opinionated folks and actually admitted to enjoying herself.

<vent>So we pull into the townhomes and my rethug asshole neighbor is BBQ'ing in the drive. He says "It's always good to see a strong Bush supporter" and I replied that I do "pray for Bush every day". Then he said "I'm sure George directed that hurricane to hit New Orleans". I told him that George did stay on vacation while people were dying. And stormed into the house.</vent>

Thanks for listening. I'm calmer now.

2. Awwww... poor you. Too bad you have to have a neighbor like that.

His hero can do no wrong in his eyes. Yuck!

:hug:

3. You should have told him

That a "good bush supporter" is a dying breed. With a 38% approval, it won't be long until he sees none of them.

So he just yaps that shit out of nowhere?

5. It might have something to do with the stickers on my car. n/t

12. his poll ratings are dropping like Dick Nixon's in 1973

things are bad for the WH and the GOP in general.

They have totally blown their 9-11-01 electoral power in just 4 years. How long did the Democrats hold congress even after LBJ got boondoggled in Vietnam? almost 30 years, showing even during the Reagan years, a lot of people still favored more sound social/economic policy

4. AUGH!

6. There's this thing with a bag of poo on fire on someone's porch.

Or so I've heard. I also heard Republicans LUV it.

7. his loss

you are in houston, which i know to be openly republican for one cause; the spiral of silence, a social concept by E. Noelle-Neumann. basically a republican says someting, and all the democrats say nothing against it, making other democrats think everyone agrees with that one republican. there are democrats there, as i am sure youre aware of. the guy you talked to probablly a brainwash victim of the bush agenda. i hear texas used to be democratic. that would've been nice. (i live in houston too)

[WestHoustonDem]

11. Punk has her reasons for reacting that way...

She's my daughter, and thought she was being funny. She just said, "I'll have to think about what I write next time" :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I'm raising a good, Democrat with a very sick sense of humor. I'm so proud!
