I had a flat tire on the way home from work today, and a guy stopped to offer assistance. I had bought my car used and was unaware I did not have the tires were locked and that I did not have the tool to remove the lug nuts. He gave me a ride to the nearest dealer, and when we found out they didn't have the tools available for sale there, took me back to my car where I got a tow back to the dealer from a Democrat and was allowed to vent a bit.
I found out he was on the wrong side of politics when I saw he had some post-digging equipment in his pickup bed and some signs behind his front seat (which I couldn't see enough of to read). I found out he was putting up signs for Brad Jewitt who is running against Steny Hoyer in Maryland's 5th District. I know many of you will probably be upset that I didn't identify myself to him as a liberal Democrat who hates Bush, but I didn't find out his politics until I was already on the road. Also, I appreciated his help, I really needed to get home, and if he was a freeper, who knows what would have happened to me if I got into it with him.
Here's some of the things I had to listen to (warning, don't read if you've just eaten something)
1. He's a member of the Marine Corps Special Forces, some kind of officer - says he is planning on volunteering to go back to the Middle East around Christmas. I asked him if his family would be happy with that decision, he said probably not, but he didn't think a Democrat would dare attack someone with his military background who actually volunteered to go to war during Christmas when he runs for state office in the future. (Doesn't this sound similar to something Kerry was accused of doing in Vietnam? Hypocrite.)
2. Said his motto is to Vote Republican and Vote Often - actually went further to say he had three aliases for that purpose. I couldn't tell if he was joking about that one.
3. Said that what happened to the Congressional Districts in Texas is that they ungerrymandered them. WTF?!
4. Said only 1 in 5 of the Religious Right came out to vote in 2000, and they were going to come out en masse this year, and Bush would win in a landslide.
5. California would have easily have been a Republican state now if it weren't for Pete Wilson.
6. Said the Democrats tried to steal the election in 2000 and he knew they would try to do it again this year.
Anyway, I held my tongue, thanked him for his help, and let him go on his way. Just thought I'd share with you some of the propaganda I was exposed to today.
