6. I holiday'd with Republicans!
Edited on Tue Dec-28-04 12:46 AM by TwoSparkles
My husband is the youngest of 13 children. His family is 3/4 religious conservatives and 1/4 flaming liberals.

Someone brought up the Vietnam War and I said, "Well, the current mess we're in, in Iraq, makes Vietnam look like a picnic."

A huge debate ensued, and turned into a screaming match. This huge family was screaming at each other and it got pretty heated.

Unfortunately, I had to leave when things got interesting, because our kids fell asleep and we had to load them into the car--when the screaming got louder.

When I left, everyone was still yelling. The last thing I heard was, "Oh yeah! Well, a decisive leader in the White House is much better than some flip-flopping wimp!" As we were walking out the door, my husband shouted back, "Which wimp are you talking about? The one who gunned his boat up on an embankment, then ran a guy down and shot him and killed him? Is that the wimp you're talking about? Or are you talking about the wimp who vacationed on a pile of cocaine in Alabama while Vietnam was going on?"

(I love my husband!)

No talk about election fraud though! Just a room full of 40 people screaming at each other!
