Seriously?



She can't win! No one I know is voting for her.

Interestingly, my experience in real life is that no one is talking about this. I hang out at soccer games too and have yet to hear a single person mention Sarah Palin, or McCain, Obama, or Biden. I have to agree with Wright that she's probably in a slightly non-standard environment.

Wright is also politely not mentioning the "tell the crazy woman what she wants to hear" dynamic.

No way am I talking about politics at soccer games or supermarkets. I'm afraid someone will go postal or someone's head will explode. It's a dangerous political scene out there!

How do you all handle it when somebody says something completely outrageous and factually wrong?

I just calmly point out the basis of their misapprehension of reality. For example, when some one says "Nobody has trashed the Constitution like Bush!" I point out FDR's little efforts in that regard and how, as a result, he is lauded. I note wistfully that perhaps President Bush's problem is that he hasn't trashed the Constitution enough.

I've always had a special soft spot for these "purposeful" women who humiliate their families by accosting strangers at dinner parties or in check-out lines and, with intense stares, demand to know their views on politicians they don't like.

No one has brought it up twice. Whether it's because they see there error, or classify me as a dangerous lunatic, I don't know. I get both reactions frequently.

Mr. Burnet;

SWIPIAW has a similar view, which is a big reason why I vent politically online, safely away from the view of family and friends IRL.
