Ok. My values trumped guilt today.

Woman staffer at the grocery store wanted me to go through the automated checkout. As she scanned the newspaper, she said "Oh, you are a Santorum voter?" Where she got that from the paper I do not know????
I said "Are you?"
She said dreamily "Oh yes".
I asked her why and she said "I am pro-life". My response was "...and other issues at all?" Nope. That and that he was Catholic.
"Are you sure?" I asked.
She looked at me puzzled. I then laid into her "Well I am bigger Pro-life than you are with your limited issue. I am pro-planet. Pro-animals, Pro-environment life. Too bad you limit yourself to such a narrow view".
I then left after I thanked her for her help. I questioned if I should have felt guilty but today I walked away saying "NAHHHHHHH!" Not today.
