Had a talk with a Republican friend tonight. Yes I know sounds a little Oxymoronic.
But here is the proof it was fruitful.

3. When I lived in NC, I couldn't even TALK about politics --
the only time I really got into it was when I was in line for early voting for Obama and a black woman and I were getting excited and teary.

So I think this is a GREAT accomplishment! :headbang:

And I remember Burr :puke:

9. No kidding, my style was far too confrontational for NC
The sweet flower of southern womanhood was supposed to be silent and decorative and that wasn't me.

It's one of the reasons I fled to Boston in the late 60s.

11. Lucky you. Native New Englander here who got exiled to NC following a job.
VT or Portland OR is where I'd rather be!

4. Man he must be old
but after killing the Treasury Secretary, he shouldn't be seen on bumper stickers.

No matter what their political philosophical theological religious beliefs are is never oxymoronic, it's human

12. Sweet and enviable sentiments. Yet
my reality does not include many "Republican Friends". Acquaintances/Colleagues/Neighbors/Buddies, yes, Friends, no.
