A field report from the dark side: I went to a company picnic with my husband.

The people he works with are nice enough people, but tend to be Republicans who listen to Fox and Limbaugh, so I just don't discuss politics. Imagine my shock when overheard my husband and his friends discussing the health care proposals and one of my husband's co-workers expressed tentative approval. He said something to the effect that what Obama is saying sounds good, and he wishes all the noise would die down long enough for him to figure out what's really in the plan. In other words, he realizes he's being handed a lot of lies and he's halfway sold on the plan despite all the lying. These are people who've been drinking the Kool Aid so long they're bright cherry red head to toe!
