Since my office is near the kitchen/break room, I overhear lots of random shit when I leave my door open.
Today, I got to overhear two of my coworkers discussing the upcoming election. Both are very Republican, so they weren't arguing or anything ,just discussing things from the right wingnut point of view.
The statement that just made want to punch a motherfucker in the nuts? It went like this:
"Obama's a god damned communist...look at his voting record. And he's more Muslim than Christian."
I'm sorry, but nothing in the Democrat party is remotely left enough to do more than dabble in minor socialism. And the stupid Muslim statement? I can't believe people are still spouting that shit.
If you want to vote for McCain, vote for McCain, but why is it necessary to demonize the left? Last time I checked, WWII, Korea, and Vietnam all started under Democrat rule, and they didn't capitulate or go handing the country over to the Soviets or the Chinese. Their Republican followers agreed to a stalemate or left the field to the enemy, respectively. If Nixon had won in 1960, it wouldn't shock me if there were missiles in Cuba.
