A kerry supporter ...

Kyle, Sharon, and I encountered a Kerry supporter Saturday night. :lmao: I have not met all Kerry supporters or Democrats, but I suspect that many of them are just like this guy.

We have smalltown that engages in discussion of the issues at times and we have urbanpancake and some others that just parrot the party sound bites, but this guy takes the cake for being intellectually challenged. He said if Bush wins our property taxes would go up. I tried to explain to him that the Federal government had nothing to do with the property taxes, but he kept insisting. Then he said that our car insurance would go up because the government had to pay for the war in Iraq. I tried to tell him that that was private industry and was not controlled by the feds; he still raved on. Then it was the cost of food, housing, and gas. When he got to gas, we exclaimed, "That is the only one you have gotten right." The feds do tax gas. Then he tried to pin the tax directly on Bush. We tried to explain that Bush does not set the tax rates, the Congress does, but he was not buying that either despite the fact that it is the truth. I finally got so fed up I lost all semblance of civility and told him straight to his face that his arguments were pure stupidity. He didn't challenge me on that. :killingme

He wound up being the topic of discussion and amusement for all who heard the commotion; even those that were not in "our little group".

You guys have all the fun. The guy Larry and I sat next to at Hard Times tonight has a son on the way to Baghdad. The kid is Airborne and the guy let me hold his son's medallion.

PS, they're both voting for Bush.

He came over and said something (asked a question) while the three of us were already engaged in conversation.

You didn't miss much.... There are plenty of dumicrats just like him here on the board. Seem to be two or three new ones too, or at least new MPDs.

You are right that all democrats aren't morons. However, don't count yourself among the "aren't" variety.

Do you read the entire post or do you just immediately take offense? Hello. Did you read this?

Many does not mean all and suspect does not mean know. Got it?

Forgot to post another thing this guy said. With violence and theft now being perpetrated against the Bush campaign, this is relevant. He also said that if Kerry didn't win there would be cars turned over from coast to coast. I retorted (I hope it does not come to this) that it would be the beginning of the next civil war.

I doubt it will be a close race, its going to be a big win regardless of who wins, but if it is close then i can see the opposing side will express severe displeasure. It can come in many forms, but if its like annother florida or what ever i can see reforms...

This guy didn't say anything about reforms. He was talking riots. I think many people are fed up with tantrum throwing little people and will not put up with it.

Not that I think it will happen in my neighborhood, but no one better try anything like a riot that does damage to our property or causes harm to our family. We will protect ourselves.

To play devil's advocate, maybe he was thinking that Bush would cut aid to local governments, which would then raise property taxes to maintain their spending levels.

But I've seen that done under both Democratic and Republican presidents, so I don't think Bush can be blamed for that.

Let me assure you that this guy could not have reasoned that deeply. And they let people like him vote instead of exterminating them to elevate the gene pool. (I'm kidding you PC people)
