More proof that Liberals are the NICEST people!
I just got rear-ended waiting in line at a stop sign.

This lovely young lady with gorgeous blue eyes and curly strawberry blonde hair gets out and starts apologizing profusely. I look at my bumper and all she did was crack the paint a little on the bumper. Not even noticeable unless you look for it. I saw her car was fine, and I told her not to worry about it. She insisted on paying me. So, we went across the street so she could get some cash out of an ATM. They didn't have one. I told her again not to worry about, but she still insisted saying that she was an excellent driver and she never did anything like this.

She asked if she could mail me a check. I said ok and went to her car so she could write down my address. Then she confessed that she was distracted trying to read my bumper stickers! I asked her if she was part of The Cause, and she replied "Have you ever heard of Radio Free America? I broadcast it out of my house!" I told her she needed to boost her signal.

We then got into a discussion on how you can't trust the Corporate Media for news. I told her I get all my news from Independents like NPR, LINK TV, FSTV, and (of course) DU.

I told her to take half the money and donate it to herself. She told me she would send me some info along with the check and then I could donate if I wanted to. I said I was GLAD she ran into me!

What nice, sweet, wonderful, Liberal woman!

8. Too young for me, I'm sure. I'm pushing 50.
And there was a guy in the car with her. Oh, well!

3. Once in a while I think about all the liberals I know...
and realize that, even if I *didn't* share political views with them, I'd want to be like them: giving, smart, thoughtful, funny, and kind.

I never question whether I'm in the right party, because I think of all my favorite people: liberal Democrats all...

12. My Conservative Home
as a kid was a nightmare of violence, brutality, and rascism.

Thank God for the liberal family across the street. The only liberals in the neighborhood. They were my sanctuary.

Every time I hear somebody espouse the moral superiority of conservatives, I lose a little tooth enamel.

14. I wish!
Once I get her return address I plan to send her a nice thank-you letter. Just knowing someone like this enhances your whole life.

Just like all my friends on DU!

5. nice lady & nice story BUT depending on your car you may have
hidden damage.

the newer cars have 5MPH bumpers that work great ONCE! they have little shock absorber thingies in them that once they take an impact they're dead.

13. Is hers the ".info" station? If so, her web page needs some
serious help. Put her in touch with me and I'll fix it up for free. (I dod this stuff for a living, but am always ready to donate some time to a good nonprofit cause.)
