1. I'm "other #2"...
I have a friend who's absolutely FEARLESS with his opinion, and flames the freeps at his workplace on a regular basis. And he's always been a progressive, but he's NEVER been this politically vocal before. Makes me proud.

2. other, at this late stage we have all "agreed to disagree"
that being said, one of the biggest freeps came by today and talked about how bad the poverty numbers were and how ridiculous the "poverty level" incomes were. He was shocked and disgusted that a single person's number is $9800

He thought that was criminal and incredibly insufficient.

He may be coming around......

3. Other--
I've already been cautioned not to.

Got in at least 2 arguments already. And since I'm in freeper central, I'm the asshole in their scenario.

But they won't stop me from decorating my office with various anti-Bush paraphernalia.

6. Oh Yea! Everyone know where I stand...
Everwhere I go this year, I find away to turn the converstion to politics (not hard this year). I have had many debates, some live and some via email.
I had one guy tell me he couldn't talk politics to me any more, a guess the truth hurts!
This what the grass roots is all about, getting out there and talking to people.
Telling them the facts and being able to back them up!
