I had a kinda close encounter with a McSame/Palin(comparison) supporter today.

[MarianJack]

We were leaving the Staples in Waterville, Maine today and were about to turn onto Main st. I am a cautious driver and I always follow the law about stopping at a red light before turning right. I do so today.

The exact second I'm stopped, the idiot behind me starts LEANING on his horn. Now if this had been a toot, I'd have waved and gone, but this was a long blaring noise for a good 10 seconds. Even then, I'm about to go, but he leans on his horn again. When I have this kind ocf a person behind me, I make it a point to NOT do what they want, so I stay.

At this point the bozo gets out of his car. If he had come towards my car, I'd have turned then, but he just yelled that if I had half a brain, I'd be a half wit. When the light turned, he zoomed past me and we saw the McSame/Palin(comparison) sticker on his car.

My wife said that the guy was probably pissed at our bumper stickers, one is an Obama sticker, the other says "When bush took office gas was $1.46". The guy went screeching down the road in congested (for Maine) traffic.

I was successful in accomplishing what my father always advised. That is, if you're in conflict with an idiot, always make sure that HE is the one who gets all pissed off.

PEACE!

1. Next time, make note of his license plate.

I would have no problem calling the police and alerting them to an out of control driver heading x direction on xx street.

I like your spunk. I would've done the same thing you did. Tee hee hee!

[MarianJack]

4. Thanks

I'm a New Englander now, but sometimes the Southwest Philly in me comes out.

[Egnever]

8. dont you think cops have better things to do?

[Dogtown]

22. Part of the job

There really aren't that many bank-robbers to catch, not enough that each cop gets one to chase all by him/herself. Traffic control and unruly persons are a major part of each day.

They are there to keep the peace. Squelching the rage of a reckless driver seems to fall neatly into that category.

2. Be careful my friend

When idiots get mad they turn to violence.

[MarianJack]

5. Thank you, randr.

I did not take my eyes off of him for one second.

PEACE!

[liberalmuse]

3. I'm hearing about too many incidences like this one, lately.

Please be careful. Republicans are angrier than usual right now.

[MarianJack]

6. I Thank You, liberalmuse!

I am careful, but I refuse to be intimidated by a 69 IQ rethuglican.

PEACE!

[tblue]

7. Yep. And they're feeling broke, which makes it worse.

Their anger is misplaced -- they target Obama and his supporters instead of the Republican jackasses who rip them off.

[blm]

9. heheh...I'll never forget Bush telling debate audience he'd tell Saudis to open the 'spigots'

what a whistleass.

[MarianJack]

10. Whistleass!

One of my favorite * nicknames that I hadn't thought of recently.

[dysfunctional press]

25. the media and the rest of the electorate have conveniently forgotten about it...

but- they are getting the price back down to earth for selection day.

11. Waterville is a nice town...

I used to live there for a short time. I love the playground/waterpark near the Y in Waterville.

[MarianJack]

12. WOW!

One of our favorite pools & playgrounds.

We live in Augusta now, but we love Waterville.

BTW, Giffords is one of our favorite stops. I LOVE that "Maine Black Bear" flavor!

PEACE!

[lonestarnot]

13. When in doubt, do nothing. LOL Works for me too!

[MarianJack]

16. I learned that from my mom,...

...if somebody insists on honking, do not do what they want uyou to do.

Back when ChicaAzul & I were engaged (we've been married for 10+ years now), somebody honked as we were getting into our car to leave a Borders In Springfield, PA. We got out & went into Borders espresso bar for another cup.

PEACE!

[lonestarnot]

17. LOL good!

[yardwork]

14. Think of all the gas he wasted by peeling out like that!

LOL! Good for you for keeping your cool. In situations like this, I have begun to think, "What would Obama do?"

[MarianJack]

15. Obama PERSONIFIES Cool!

PEACE!

[Morrisons Ghost]

28. LOL!

:rofl: I don't know about that but I wish he'd get around to "turning the water into wine!":beer:

[Raine]

18. That's why when you have a bumpersticker you need to

act with some sense so your stupidity doesn't reflect back on your candidate. ;-)

[MarianJack]

19. Yep!

I ignored him and gave no fingers!

[dhpgetsit]

20. High blood pressure -> Heart attack -> Natural selection at work.

[MarianJack]

21. And the sum of those parts =...

...one less hatemonger. Boo-frickin'-hoo!

PEACE!

[Maine-ah]

23. good for you MJ!

:hi:

[MarianJack]

26. Thanx, Maine-ah!

:patriot:

[a kennedy]

24. Love this.......if you're in conflict

with an idiot, always make sure that HE is the one who gets all pissed off!! No truer words were ever spoken. :thumbsup: :headbang: :yourock: :woohoo: :applause: :patriot:

[MarianJack]

27. Gracias!

My father was pretty much of a turd. However, he wasn't one dimensional, and he passed many pearls of wisdom my way!

PEACE! :patriot:
