Heartwarming from NH

I had a long conversation today with a guy who runs a small landscaping business and Christmas tree stand in my town. If you saw him you would think "Teaparty" and, in fact, until today I had no idea what his political leanings were. Well, he does not trust Romney and pointed out to be that the economy is picking up...he can see it in his business... and, as he put it, "stay with this guy and let him continue doing what he's doing." He also went on a rant about what a "stand up guy" Hillary was in stepping up to the plate on Libya. He ended by telling me that "white rich men" have a choke hold on our politics and are trying to create a "permanent underclass" of all of us.

My heart was warmed. I know there are many people like him here in NH who have some common sense and are good judges of character.

this man also has some form of Parkensons and has lost most of the feeling in his hands and feet. He soldiers along and I'm sure has an appreciation of good health care.
