"Mrs. Republican" where I live in the apartment building, just came

down to the porch to sit for a while. We had all just picked up our mail. I was going on a bit about a haircut I just got (too short) and she sat down with us with a huff. I know not to get into it with her about anything political so waited while someone else asked her what was wrong... Lo and behold...She is "sick and tired of those damned republicans supporting Wall Street and the banks. If they're counting on winning anything this mid-term election they just lost it with their obstructionism this second day in a row." She had watched Senator Bunning on the MSNBC Ratigan show and he sent her "over the edge" as she put it.

Of course, all heads turned toward me as they know I spend waaaaay too much time on DU and other lefty sites, waiting for my response, if any. I don't feel bad for her but she was, at the very least,honest. I had to come upstairs anyway so as I got up I patted her on the hand and said "admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery." She actually laughed out loud and proceeded to tell us her very republican son was shocked, shocked I tell ya, that he received a far larger return on his income tax this year. He's wavering also according to her...LOL.

One by one, very slowly, they will come..

Leftist words, thoughts and wishes out of a "Republican". So who's words are they anyway?

5. I'm amazed that she was watching MSNBC

MSNBC has right-wing lite days, but it's SO MUCH better than faux news!

LOL MSNBC is "right wing lite"?

7. She did mention once that the nasally voices of the Fox News

people really annoyed her. I mentioned MSNBC to her ages ago, said it was one way in the a.m. and then my way in the afternoon. She laughed at the time but she must have switched over to MSNBC.. Also, she's originally from Philly and likes Chrissy. I said nothing..
