Never believe the Politically Rabid...

I voted this past week (the millage passed over 2-1) and got the scoop on voting in the primaries. I'd been freaking out that next year I'd have to register with a party affiliation. Au contraire

Yeah, I prefer to avoid the rabid ones, even when they're saying what I want to hear. :p That was pretty classy of your Republican coworker; just goes to show that there is balance in the world cuz the other guy was equally *un*classy. I can't believe he would take it out on someone personally.

As for elections, the last time I had a choice I was actually happy to make, Jimmy Carter was running. The rest of them have been more along the lines of "Hmm. Would I rather be punched in the stomach or in the face?" And at that time of the year, the Internet is my friend. I'm not motivated enough to keep up with their wacky doings throughout their terms, but lots of websites do it for me! :p All I have to do is edit the bias and look at what they've done and whee! Of course, with ENDA having just passed and me being transgendered I want to hang the lot of the no-good bastards, but hey....

LOL "saying what I want to hear". Actually, it's the problem at work. Most teachers vote Democrat and they constantly worry about new (unfunded) initiatives coming from Washington and new budgets out of Lansing.

So far, we've had three or four e-mails urging us to call our representatives to stop various bills. Needless to say, I haven't bothered, because I'm slowly but surely learning that a lot of it is politician's hot air. I can't wait to see what comes down the pike for governor.

I agree about the punching. I would have voted for a three-day old whitefish if it had run against Granholm. Partially its because she lies like a dog and comes up with unfunded mandates in education; e.g. all teachers should call parents when little Johnny or Suzy fail a quiz or test. But even more important, everyone in my workplace and the union was blindly supporting the notion "Democrat + teachers = good times".

Now, totally pardon my ignorance, but what is ENDA?

Did this take place at your work?! Myself - I'm right at reception -and I never discuss religion, sex or politics - people are muchly opinionated today and everyone thinks that they are right. I've seen people stabbed for less (but not at work - yeesh).

What a bunch of unprofessional stinkers.

Yes, at work. The problem is that most teachers are Democrats and there's a supposition that if you're a teacher, that's what you are. It doesn't help that a few of the older teachers (one now retired, thank God!) work for the Democratic Party in their off-hours
