Definitely NOT a Romney fan

From my inbox today:

A teacher asked her 6th grade class how many of them were Romney fans.

Not really knowing what a Romney fan is, but wanting to be liked by the teacher, all the kids raised their hands except for Little Johnny...

The teacher asked Little Johnny why he has decided to be different... Again.

Little Johnny said, "Because I'm not a Romney fan."

The teacher asked, "Why aren't you a fan of Romney?" Johnny said, "Because I'm a Liberal."

The teacher asked him why he's a Liberal. Little Johnny answered, "Well, my Mom's a Liberal and my Dad's a Liberal, so I'm a Liberal."

Annoyed by this answer, the teacher asked, "If your mom was a moron and your dad was an idiot, what would that make you?"

With a big smile, Little Johnny replied, "That would make me a Romney fan."

too true to be funny.

True story: My sixth grade teacher took a show of hands vote for Nixon/McGovern. I wasn't brave enough to be Johnny. I knew better, but the Nixon vote was unanimous.

I live in Texas. In 2000, a teacher at my kids' school was smiling when she told me that my Kindergarten son had gotten into a verbal 'fight' in an assembly over the election because he was a Gore supporter.

"Who did he argue with?" I asked.

Big smile. "The Kindergarten. All six classes!" (Teacher was proud of him! )

I was ! He took on the entire Kindergarten! And not much has changed with him.

That is serious courage in one so young. If he ever runs for office, I'll vote for him.

And that was my first clue just how much he was absorbing of all he had seen and heard. A bit unnerving!

I never send her stuff like that, even though she is constantly sending me crazy right-wing e-mail. But I was really glad to have the "Romney fan" joke handy to send her in response to her e-mail forwarding me the following (the all caps and bold are hers):

"ONE OF THE MOST WORRISOME IN RECENT YEARS:

25% OF LIBERALS IN THIS COUNTRY ARE ON MEDICATION FOR MENTAL ILLNESS.

THAT'S SCARY... IT MEANS 75% ARE RUNNING AROUND UNTREATED!"

I couldn't believe she sent me something so hateful, particularly since her own son (my husband) is a liberal as well. And not only did she forward that lame, hateful joke, but she added the following comment (again, her all caps):

"LOVE IT, AND IT'S FUNNY"

I'm thinking she's the one who needs to be on medication.

to change a single word:

Where you see "Liberals," simply substitute "Conservatives" and the statement becomes completely accurate and truthful. Just HATE to see all these poor folks stuck lying all the time!

She really does wear diapers (Depends).

But I could never be that mean to her. And it would bum my husband out if I said something like that to her.

I am tired of these bed-wetting whiny puling crybaby Thuglican victims. They act like spoiled bullying brats, they deserve to be called on it.
