So I just got back from filling a prescription at my local Walgreens [View all]

The night pharmacist is a really great guy and very friendly. I gave him my prescription then sat down and pulled out a Frank Rich New York Magazine article about Romney's Libyan clusterfuck. Anyway, the pharmacist was chatting with a guy who looked like he was in his mid-50's and could very easily have been a teabilly fuckhead. They were talking about a Iowa (?) when all of a sudden the customer launched into an anti-Romney rant about the whole Libyan debacle. I was flabbergasted. The pharmacist said he had been pulling a lot of hours all week so he hadn't kept up. The guy filled him in and then some. I piped up and we all had a fun talk. The customer said that he had been a registered Independent his entire adult life, but after this week he said who am I kidding? I will never vote for a Republican so he changed his party affiliation to Democrat. I congratulated him and so did the pharmacist. Now I know his politics!
I live in Grand Rapids, MI, which is Ground Zero for the Richard DeVos/Jay VanAndel/Amway/Erik Prince/ Blackwater or Xe of whatever in hell they're calling themselves these days brand of teabagger evil so I am always surprised when I hear a different point of view. I ended up giving the pharmacist my article so he could catch up. The customer told me to not forget to vote because if Romney wins he would probably inadvertently start a war with Canada. 
I told him there was no chance of sitting this one out. He also took a dim view of justin Amash too.
It was pretty cool & most unexpected. Sweet dreams, DUers!
