Reality for Dems, from the mouths of babes
Advertisements [?]
My kid is barely 15 years old. He's smart, and politically aware. His girlfriend of some months is 17. Since it's been some months I wanted to meet her. Seems like this is more than just a fling... yeah, it's true love. For now, at least.

So, we all went to dinner as a family. And we had a nice time. She has good values, just like my son. Some stuff just comes out in conversation, and I could tell. She is a good soul.

So we go home and we play this game called apples to apples. It's very fun, especially with a lot of people. The basic premise is you have 7 red cards in your hand that represent something -- people, places, things, adjectives, descriptive terms, etc. One person per round draws a green card and everyone else throws out a red card that matches as best as possible. The card judged best to match the green card (by the person drawing the green card) wins. You win 7 green cards, you win the game.

So someone pulls the green card "Democrat" and my son's girlfriend (all of 17) throws out the card that says "coward" to match against it. Guess who won that round? Hands down I might add. Wasn't even close.

Nancy, Harry, Hilary, Obama, Biden, all you senate dems, and house leaders, can you hear me? Even a 17 year old kid (and the 15 year old, too) see you as cowards for not standing up to Bush and the GOP.

How can you not see this for yourselves???? Please, stand up to them, or you will continue to lose one generation after the next.
