Reply #45: A brief but interesting convo today

[Sugarbleus]

News was on TV; bobbleheads were making fun of Kerry's Orange Tan in a can thing. Honestly, I DID squint and hang my head for a moment..BUT just at that moment my teen grandson chimed in to say:'Is that a good reason for NOT voting for Kerry; what does that have to do with anything he's about?!' :wow: Wooohoooo

I thought g.son was totally bored by my obsession with politics over these long months--since early last year when I got busy. I'm exceedingly PROUD to say...........HE'S BEEN PAYING ATTENTION.

Matter of fact, he told me just a day or so ago almost the same thing when, in his class, a kid said they were voting for Bush because of some stupid reason (according to my g.son)..Grandson's response to me was that this person DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT.. He could SEE that. Grandson is paying ATTENTION.

In other words, Grandson remembers me talking about people who DO NOT vote in their own best interest and apparently this class mate of his was someone who would BENEFIT from a Kerry Presidency NOT a Bush presidency but the kid obviously DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THAT.

Anyway, HELL NO, THE TAN DOESN'T MATTER......... :bounce:
