Just stopped a Republican woman cold in her tracks and shut her right up re: Palin

[Obamarama]

Had to ride my bike down to the grocery store to get some half & half for my coffee in the morning. In line to check out I was behind these two 40ish looking women, who are obviously Republican from their conversation.

They were talking about Palin and I was just biting my tongue. Then one of them says "What's great about her is that she's just a regular person, just like you or me." It was then that I decided I couldn't keep my big yap shut.

"So, are you saying that as a "regular person" (I made quote marks with my fingers)just like Sarah Palin that you are prepared to govern the country should something happen to the president? Are you prepared to lead this country? Nah, didn't think so. Guess what? Neither is Palin!"

They both just nervously and with great embarassment looked away and ignored me. The cashier had a smirk on his face.

1. Good for you!

[progressivebydesign]

2. Good for you! It's that "regular person" bullshit that got us GEORGE!

Feel free to remind people of that... the last time they thought it was soooo great to choose a "regular guy" our country fell into total disaster. Palin may be a "regular person", but then again I don't know a lot of people that vindictive, that hypocritical, that ruthless, or that religious extreme. But hey.. I'm sure SOMEONE knows someone like that -- and they hate them.

something I said. Thanks - I'm proud of myself.

9. I love half n half in my coffee. Roast my own beans sometimes,,,,

[Obamarama]

12. Roast your own beans? Sheesh...bet ya doughnuts to dollars you eat arugula, too!?

Yeah, half & half is it for me. Can't do milk in the coffee...has to be half & half. At least I got reduced fat half & half, which is STILL better than 2%.

[bdamomma]

10. that is what got us in trouble when so many people

wanted to go have a beer with a president. crap, don't they ever learn.

[Fly by night]

13. Drinking beer with a practicing alcoholic. Now that's real living!

At least until the (inevitable) fight starts.

19. Are you serious? Nah, didn't think so...

LOL

[Obamarama]

20. What do you mean am I serious? Of course I'm serious....

I'm not afraid to challenge people's stupidity when it's affecting my future. Damn straight I'm serious.

[ZenKitty]

28. Anyone that makes air quote marks...

...is far far from being serious.

[Stinky The Clown]

21. Good for you

I like that sort of confrontation. These people need to know we won't sit still for Republican bullshit any longer.

Lighten up, Francis. Why don't you go get yourself an education and try again in a few years, ok?

24. I wonder what they're posting on their blog site?

It would be interesting to see how they might be twisting the facts.

[KelleyKramer]

30. ha ha. I love stories like this! ..

Had a lot of fun at parties asking nutjobs...

So, you want an alcoholic to come over to your house and drink beer ?

Then you want to make him the leader of the country?

You know what.. you are a genius!!
