Went today to the Ye Ole State Fair today. While my wife and Granddaughter were riding those over priced mechanical devices I was out looking at the Cattle and commercial exhibits.
So as I was walking through the exhibits I noticed the state republican booth. So I passed by the booth at a close range when one of the workers ask how my day was going. I said well now that I found you it is about to get better, FOR ME.
The booth had flyers from their various candidates on the table and they had made a wall with streets signs. What most caught my attention was a sign labeled Star Poll. It had the names of Romney,Cruz,Christie,Rubio,Paul. So I said Ah ha I see your strategy,she said what is that. I said to her your strategy is to distract the voters with the 2016 POTUS election in hopes that they forget about the mid terms because as a former RNC chair once said " republicans win when voters don't turn out" Her eyes became glazed like a deer in headlight look and she was speechless.
Another name on that straw poll was good ole " I cant name a single source that I read Sarah Pailin" I then said your party is still living in fantasy land that ole Going Rouge Palin could be president. The straw poll showed Romney with 611 votes and Palin with 402 followed by the rest. The women said well she is better than the Democrats fantasy candidate, I said to her, WHO would that be. She stumbled her speech with no name out of her mouth and then shut up. I closed by saying, If your trying to say Hilary Hilary is miles more qualified then Palin and anything the republicans could put up for decades to come
She went back to the deer in headlight looks. I then smiled and left.

Speaking to an interacting with ignorant beings can be a lesson all in itself.
