My 84 year-old grandpa sent me a birthday card...
On the front: *A Special Message* from Vice-President Dick Cheney (dumb-ass picture of Dick)

Inside: "Happy %&#@*% Birthday, you *%@#! Go #%$# yourself!"

Signed: Love, Grandpa

OMG! I died laughing, I wish you all could meet him, he's the best! I get my good liberal gene's from him!

8. My grandma never would have let him send it
May she rest in peace. Not that she wasn't a good liberal, just the fact it has inclinations of swearing. LOL

3. If more folks in their 80s were like your grandfather...
...I'll bet the phrase "old fart" wouldn't even exist!

9. I have a 75 year old friend who would be ideal for him
but her health is failing badly. He sounds like her type. I'm afraid before long I'm going to miss her great sence of humor. To bad too I'll bet they'd make a great couple

11. A liberal in Tulsa?
I didn't think there was such a thing, glad to know you exsist ( I peeked at your profile). I worked with lots of guys who moved to Ft. Worth from Tulsa. The liberal ones seem few and far between. :hi:

it isn't easy living among a lot of these people, just have to grow a thick skin.

<edit to add>

I actually call myself a "libertarian populist", most of them can't figure out what the hell that is! :evilgrin:
