I love my husband to death........but he's to damn nice.

In our little town of about 350 people i’d say of the signs for tRump and Biden.....there are almost equal amounts. Well one of our neighbors.......I don’t know her, came to our home to ask for our support for her on our city council. Husband answered the door and was so nice to her talking to her for about 10 minutes or so, and finds out where she actually lives, where there is a FAWKING TRUMP SIGN IN HER YARD!!!!!!! He says well I’ll circle your name.........and when she left, i’m going “you’ll circle her name?? What the heck does that mean??? You’re voting for a women who’s got tRump signs in her yard for our city council???” He goes no, but I didn’t want to hurt her feelings. WHAT??? OMGAWD. Didn’t want to hurt her feelings......damn man. She damn near had to trip over our Biden sign. So......she didn’t even hand us a introductory sheet with her vitals, ya know, where she was born, how long she lived here......and any other stuff that might be important for us to get to know her and her feelings, policies, etc. nothing to give us. Ugh....couldn’t believe it, she didn’t have anything to give us about her, don’t matter, NOT VOTING FOR HER ANYWAY.

Time is meaningful to any candidate. If he had blown her off, she might have used the extra time to get a vote for herself.

Every minute he took of hers was another house she didn’t get to visit.

If he had invited her in for dinner and kept her there all night, he’d have given her campaign a nice kick in the teeth and what would she have gotten from it? Not his vote. A nice dinner maybe? It’s a nice bit of subtle sabotage and I love it!

When I get Repuke phone calls, I am sooooooooooo nice. Politely discuss the issues, ask info. Makes me wanna puke, but I remind myself, they are talking to a far left liberal Dem — a life-long one. They will NEVER convert me to their side. I just waste their time as long as I can to give them less time to find someone they can take mental prisoner of.
