They don't realize how stupid they come off mimicking the talking points. I'm often surrounded by Republicans, and they can't keep their mouths shut. Democrats don't bring it up if they know people don't agree, but it's just like right wingers to have to shove their opinions in peoples' faces. And they are usually stupid as all get out.

My favorite is a relative who has been on welfare in the past, is on food stamps now, can't shut up, claims she voted for Obama and is "disappointed" (I'll never forgive the left for giving the right this meme to use against obama in this election with the idiots like this relative, who aren't even leftists but sheep) and likes Lyan because he's a "good Catholic man." Stupid wench.
