I Was Asked At Lunch: "Are You A Democrat"?
I admit. I paused.

"I am a Liberal", I said.

not sure what that means but it came out.

4. Who asked and what did he/she say back?
I had a strange experience @ Barnes and Nobel yesterday. A family sitting next to my family overheard me and the kids talking about boycotting x-mas. I had my Big Bush Lies and Bush Dynasty books sitting on the table. i saw the father lean over and whisper something in his wife's ear. (thought I heard Bush, that's all) And then the guy looked at me and winked? I have no clue if it was support or, you're nuts lady! He looked friendly enough though!

8. My guess would be support
Probably someone who's shy about admitting he's anti-Bush himself.

5. Did they apologize for embarassing you?

Seriously, I would have probably said: "On the contrary, I am a liberal"

6. I've never self-identified as a Democrat.
I suppose that's a remnant from my idealistic youth, but I've always labeled myself as independent or liberal. I could never commit myself fully to a political party, because a political party will only disappoint me in the end. So I'm an independent liberal who supports whoever is opposing Republicans (within reason).

Lord, please forgive this abortionist sodomist communist socialist amoral bag of pus, so he is not cast into the lake of fire with Barbara Streisand and the other abortionist sodomist communist socialist amoral bags of pus.

Amen.

14. I answered that question just a few days ago
Normally, if I'm asked if I'm a Democrat I just say "yes I am" and, depending on the situation, I might also add 'born and raised', 'yellow dog' or something like that.

The last time I was asked I blurted out "I'm a progressive" without thinking. Not sure what that means either.
