I just attended a Republican Fundraiser.....Ask me why....
Edited on Wed Mar-09-05 10:19 PM by liberalnurse
I did it because Nursing is neutral and Republicans run both the House and Senate in my state.


It was a nice republican......And this was my first time ever! It took a lot of nerve and some really good Irish beer.

1. Because...
"Know your enemy and know yourself and you need not fear the outcome of a thousand battles". Ask me who.

5. I was thinking that while I drank the Irish beer.
It was called Smithwich's Beer. It worked too!

7. Well, the goal is to at least get
the best deal you can when your side is the minority. This is a major step of learning and practicing diplomacy. I'd rather have them know me and like......for my expertise.

9. It was tasty.....
Little sandwiches in both French-white and pumpernickel bread along with cheese bits.......My organization gave a HUGE donation too! Cash bar.....It was at a Great Pub!!!!

I made friends with the guys at the main bar....They were supportive and kept telling me when the "Suits" were arriving!

I made a good representation....did my duty.

As in, using Republicans' own tactics against them?

11. Nursing is neutral??? You say this as privatized medical care is
destroying any kind of care for people in need??

14. I didn't say we were passive.......on the contrary.
We are friends with all who are friends to nursing. Nursing covers essentially all aspects that interface with humanity....that is a lot of territory and a lot of committees.

13. Learn anything?
It's good to keep your eyes and ears open in that kind of situation. Did you learn anything useful about how Republicans operate in those sorts of environments?

15. I learned much more......
That I am quite effective! I also got to see where the money comes from since it was a fundraiser. I saw them relaxed in their own camp.
