Here in Republican hell, I am considered a bit outspoken about my political views. In my own way, it's to remind folks around here that not everyone is Republican or a "Bushbot." Democrats here are considered outsiders, and for one to not only state, but boast, that he supports the Democratic party is like a sin against their God. Needless to say, I present a lot of shock-value in my statements. These people are so arrogant thatthey forget that the majority of Americans view Bush unfavorably and that there are more like me out there than them. But here on Gilligan's island, they think this IS AMERICA.
Today, I made a little statement about Bush being invited to speak at our local Toastmaster's club. The gentleman asked if I would like to speak, and I jokingly said, "Before or after George Bush?" (knowing how George is such a great public speaker, ya know). He laughed and said after. I then remarked, "Good, then I will go over well."
One of my Bushbot friends stated, "There you go again, bashing Bush and being political. Why don't you understand that he is the president, my president."
I then asked the million dollar question. Was Clinton your president, too? She remarked of course. I told her I bet she was doing the same thing then that I was doing now. I can't tell you the hell I caught for being a Clinton supporter in the 90's here on Gilligan's island. I told her this, and remarked that these Bushbots sure had short memories.
Oh, and yes, W stickers are still everywhere here on vehicles, especially SUVS with the Christian fish, the name of their kids and what activities they participate in, and big fat W stickers. The Bushbots are still around. Most of them seem to be right here, unfortunately.
