Great moments in Political Discussions in Dental Office, part 1,427:
this guy, long term patient, comes in loaded for bear this morning! He's all set for me and out of his mouth spills the question: what would Obama have to do to make you NOT support him?
My immediate answer: "Why the hell should I have to answer questions like that? My Party is not on trial. Your Party is the one that started and couldn't pay for two totally unnecessary wars with the associated nightmares visited upon our military which you claim to hold in such high esteem. Your Party is the one who oversaw the absolute running-into-the-ground of the economy including the halving in value of the stock market which you hold so dear. And your Party is the one which nominated an individual who was and is so completely out of touch with anyone's reality that he lost badly to what you have stated to me many times was an incompetent, unqualified, and failed President. So you are the one who should really be answering the questions, not asking them.
The visit went uphill from there...I told him the allusion about the undecided voters which David Sedaris had told a few weeks ago...: “On Undecided Voters: "To put them in perspective, I think of being on an airplane. The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart and, eventually, parks it beside my seat. “Can I interest you in the chicken?” she asks. “Or would you prefer the platter of shit with bits of broken glass in it?”
To be undecided in this election is to pause for a moment and then ask how the chicken is cooked.”
Even he had to laugh.
