Safe ways to respond to Bush-Cheney folks! Share your ideas.
Given that some of my fellow DUers have talked about confrontations they have had with freeper types/Bush-Cheney supporters et al, I thought it would be healthy to share some of the less incendiary responses we could use. I do not want any of the Kerry-Edwards crowd (okay, ANYONE) to wind up in a fistfight or worse.

My first thought was to say in response to any criticism of my Kerry-Edwards button, "Welcome to democracy, sweetie!"

Another is "You'd support him if you had my job." (I work for a newswire and hear all kinds of hooey from the GOP and the administration in particular)

Other ideas? Any stories to share? What about Michael Moore's essay on how to talk to your conservative brother-in-law? Do weigh in!

1. my official response
from here on out is laughter at anyone daring to be a bush supporter. If I can manage to speak, however, I intend to say something along the lines of..."don't feel bad, people just like you voted for nixon too."
