It's so great when a friend you think is a right-winger, turns out to be on the left. [View all]

I have a friend I met through podcasting (so he's kind of a associate/friend); After listening to his show for years, I'd always assumed he was a Republican (he was the co-host, and the host was obviously right-wing—and my friend confirmed this).

I was on FaceBook yesterday, and saw 2 posts: one condemning the Koch brothers, and the other taking a stab at the GOP. I looked over and saw both posts were 'liked' by my podcast friend.

It made me smile: I knew he was too smart to be a GOP'r.

I wrote him and told him I was happy to see he voted on the left; he wrote back that he's always been a blue voter, and sees the GOP as a party for the ultra rich and wacky religious types.

Now, LET'S KEEP THE SENATE!!! (just thought I'd throw that in there).
