My 1st political conversation with my 5 y.o.

[burythehatchet]

here’s what happened. I had made a anti bush sign and taped it to the inside of my car window. J saw the sign and asked what it was. We had a brief exchange which ended with him understanding that I didn’t like george bush. He asked me why....

J: Why don’t you like president bush?
Me: Because the president is supposed to help people and he doesn’t help a lot of people.
J: Why?
Me: Because he’s not a nice guy, he hurt’s people and makes everybody mad.

J: Then why did he become president?
Me: He tricked everybody. He told everybody that he was really nice but then when he became president he got really mean.

J: Well he shouldn’t be president anymore
Me: That’s right, we all get to decide if he can stay being president. And I want everybody to choose President John Kerry

J: and we’ll have a new president?
Me: that’s right sweetie
J: He’ll be a good president?
Me: He’ll be great.
J: Like George Washington.
Me: That’s right Justin how did you know that George Washington was a good president?

J: But won’t president bush be mad?
Me: You bet he will
J: What if he comes to Atlanta and punches you in the wiener?
Me: I’ll punch him back
J: What if he gets a gun and shoots you
Me: Gee I hadn’t thought about that son.

......anyway, the little fella is the newest Democrat.

he cheated instead of playing nice.

7. Great story!

I worked with a five-year-old yesterday who was not only the most charming and enthusiastic partisan I have ever met, but he also carried Kerry/Edwards yard signs to the car for everyone who dropped by Democratic HQ. Hugs to your bud!
:pals: :hi:

9. So cute!

My 4 step-grand daughters have been brainwashed to believe that we must all vote for bush, he's a christian. Their mom is a real religious nut. Since I'm the step grandma, I couldn't slap the heck out of them, and they do love me and think I'm the their best grandma. I just said, only God knows our hearts and it's up to Him to decide who is a christian. It's not up to you to decide that bush is a christian. Bush may be a Baptist like you, but that is all you can judge. Later, my daughter asked her granddad, is bush was a Baptist? He told her no, he's a born again. She said, what is that? I ran to the bathroom to laugh and left the granddad explain to her.
