Talking With Democrats

Originally submitted by: Mz. Manners

New findings show that all Hilary's supporters were mostly Republicans trying to pull a fast one and get her elected. The rest were just paid extras. Barack supporters take all shapes and sizes. There are even a lot of Republicans switching over. If you are still a Republican and you get in an argument with a Democrat, keep these things in mind: 1. They have already drunk the Kool Aid. It is too late for them. 2. No matter what you say, they are going to bring the conversation around to the war. So you'd better have an explanation as to why you still believe in what we are doing over in Iraq. The troops in Iraq are against the war, as are the Iraqi people. So maybe you should be too. 3. Avoid talking about the environment. Strong environmentalist liberals don't even think you're worth the air you're standing in, so don't try and defend Bush's policies on keeping government out of the oil industry. 4. Never try and tell a woman you know more than she does about her own rights. 5. Your candidate is an old man with a squeaky voice. He is, ostensibly, a Simpsons character. Barack Obama has graced the cover of GQ twice already. 6. You no longer get to bring up the Monica Lewinsky sex scandal as a reason to denounce the entire Liberal cause. 7. Be respectful. No name-calling. 8. Both your candidate and theirs are calling for bipartisan efforts to solve problems. The years of divisive politics are over. Bipartisanship starts at home. 9. Tell us why you are personally excited about your candidate. If you can. 10. Be open to new ideas. And for God sakes take the stupid W off the back of your SUV.
