Here's an early candidate for the "Look in the mirror" award
Last night I decided to go to a local establishment and watch the Iowa basketball game with a few fellow fans. I got to talking to a guy who said that he had been unemployed for a year and a half, save for a few temp jobs and some contracting on the side. He said the market is tight out there and his unemployment had run out. He also said he was a Republican who supported bush 100%. I asked him for "Chrissakes why?" He answered "we can't have those faggots gettin' married". I asked him if there was any other reason and he said that Democrats are anti-bible and want to "Take away our guns". I told him he deserves whatever he got and tried to just walk away from him when he grabbed my shirt and said, "I'm not done talking to you yet". I explained to him that I have no tolerance for stupidity like his and he better remove his hand from my shirt NOW. He said that we liberals sure were an uppity bunch. I told him "You ain't seen nothin' yet". Anyway, he left me alone after that. But this guy deserves the dumbass award.

2. When he complained that he couldn't find any work...
...you say "well, I hear the Army's hirin' again...".

Good one!
Although this guy may have been a bit old for the military. Still, I wish I would have thought of that.

4. I would've had to say: Don't complain, you will get more of the
same, because that is what you voted for: no jobs but military

5. actually, perhaps the best strategy is this: okay, you voted for
Bush for those reasons, but obviously you do not support his other policies. Will you help people like myself who want to force him to change his policies or block new policies that are hurting jobs, medical care, etc?
When talking to Bush voters during the campaign, I found out THEY DON'T LIKE HIS POLICIES.
Let's allow Bush to be a 'uniter'...united against his policies.
Let's make him a very lame duck.
Can only do this with support.

And that dumb bunny has not seen anything yet.

Hope he starves to death.
