Here's a little more info about my Thanksgiving with relatives
Edited on Thu Nov-27-08 08:10 PM by louis c
To those who replied to my post, thank you. But I don't think I made myself as clear as I would have liked.

I have posted a link of a news story last year that originally appeared in the Boston Herald and then on blogs around the state. The issue at the time was gambling. Not withstanding that issue, check out the photo that accompanies the story. AFL-CIO President Bob Haynes, by the way, made a speech on Labor Day that was carried nationally about the responsibility of blue collar workers in confronting bigotry in this election. How would you like to be a Republican bigot this Thanksgiving and spend some time with me? As you can see, I pal around with folks a Repuke bigot might not find very, shall we say, inviting.

My wife may make them feel uncomfortable, too

1. Did you leave the party because of bigotry?
It sounded like you left when the host said "no politics" and you assumed that it was all about you.

2. Since they talked politics at every get together for 6 years
and you have to read the original post to get it.
