Today I found out that one of my neighbors is a rabid republican.
I was talking with another neighbor (a democrat) when this woman started blathering about how she didn't like to be paying taxes for welfare mothers...blah blah blah...
So I said, "I don't mind paying taxes to help people, but I don't like paying Halliburton and KBR"... She then blathered back about Kerry and that idiotic SUV story...well then I asked her about Bandar Bush and she started to walk away....
As always I have found that republicans will blather nonsense but they won't answer real questions... so she will be outraged by Kerry and the SUV story but run away from the fact that Bush is so friendly with Bandar....ah the irony...
To top it off she holds a minimum wage job, she lives with her parents and while there is nothing wrong with that...she somehow thinks that the republican party is going to help her. She told me that the people who don't take "charity" are good people...but then bitches that their lives are harder as a result....(People who use the CHIP program, and subsidized day care are worthless slobs in her book) I marvel at the stupidity of this argument...everyone pays taxes...even the poor...and why not take advantage of programs to help themselves????? Where is the honor in letting your kids starve? Where is the honor in suffering for no reason??? If the state offers a program why not use it...your paying for it...
As an aside this rabid republican family has the honor of having the most neglected home in the neighborhood. Their shutters are in varying states of falling off (some are just lying on the ground)..a broken down car in the driveway... 3 foot high weeds everywhere...and all kinds of debris and garbage...ah I bet the Bushes would love for them to move in next door up in Kennebunkport...they would just fit in just fine...in fact I would love for them to move...perhaps someone who would take care of the property would move in...
