Working The Truth at the Diner


...Wife and I went out for lunch this afternoon and this guy(40+ YO) and his girlfriend were sitting behind us he was bitching up a storm about how destructive Obama has been for the economy and morality of the USA.....So I said to my wife EXCUSE ME FOR A MINUTE... I stood up and walked over to him and said "excuse me I heard the spew coming from your mouth and thought I would like to make an observation to your statement.... I said you believe that Obama is destructive to the U.S economy and morality??? he said YES... I said Ronald Reagan was destructive to your ability to making a fair living.....His response...Who was Ronald Regan...


I had to sit down and almost lost the lunch I had already ate...

4. I had an encounter with one of those dumb asses last week
Edited on Thu Aug-12-10 04:16 PM by doc03
The guy was bitching about Nancy Pelosi wanting to put a windfall profit tax on 401ks and IRAs. Not knowing if there was any truth to that or not I said what about John Boehner wanting to raise the retirement age to 70? He said,"Who is John Boehner"? I told him he was the minority leader of the House and he still had no clue. I said he is the Republican that looks like his face is painted orange and he still had no clue who I was talking about. But he knew who Nancy Pelosi was and she was going to confiscate his IRA. When I came home a did a search and in like 1 minute I find out that accusation was a total lie, just another right wing e-mail that he had read. It is frightening these people can vote, they are like Jay Leno's Jaywalkers these people haven't a clue

5. That is not funny.
That is not sad.
That, to me, is scary. How can we get the rights things done if we have so many stupid voters?

7. OMG. i'm laughing so hard.
that's part of the problem. people don't know their history or politics. they listen to fox news and think their right. when i argue with people i tell them to watch CNN so they get both sides of the story.

8. What pisses me off is most of the time if you say
turn off Faux News and maybe you would hear the truth for a change, they won't admit they heard it on Faux they will claim they hear it on CNN.
