Eavesdropping by Accident
May 9th 2008 13:28
I was sitting in a truck stop yesterday, in Greeley, Colo. and couldnt help but overhear what the people behind me were saying. Especially when they started yelling!
"But you have to vote for Hillary. Shes earned it!"
"I cant stand her. Im voting for Obama. Youre a racist if you dont vote for him!"
"No, hes the racist."
"Is not."
"Is too."
There was a lot more, but thats the way it went. I expected the couple to be still inschool from the way they were acting. It was a shock to find they were probably around my own age! Old enough to remember Jimmy Carter and what a lousey president he was. Certainly old enough to remember the Clinton years. And they were arguing about which democrat to vote for? I just shook my head.
When I got back to the truck, I checked my emails before pulling out. There was a forward that made me laughso hard I got tears in my eyes. It was a quote from Obama. It went something like, "My friends, we live in the greatest country on earth. I hope youll join me in changing it."
Now I understand why people want to vote for him or Hillary. Both the candidates are so dumb and dishonest they feel sorry for them. Or maybe some voters are just stupid. Or maybe I don't understand why anyone would vote for them. Oh well, back to work.
