Obama? Really?!?!
byhobie1616

I live on Maui. We get a lot of part time residents that own vacation homes or condos. I've made friends with a few and can set my watch by their consistency in returning every year.

One is Jane. She's from Michigan, probably in her mid sixties, a fairly accomplished artist, and a dyed in the wool registered Republican. I saw her for the first time this year at a watering hole down on the beach. Knowing her political leanings I asked if she favored Newtie or Mittens. The answer was a complete surprise.

Jane said, "I'm for Obama. He's done a very good job and he's been treated horribly. My friends all say he sucks but I know better. He'll win by a landslide."

...............................................................

but wait, there's more:

Doc :"I'm very disappointed with Obama, ..

Me: "I am, too.."

Doc: "but Romney is repellent. I could never vote for him."

Me: (some stuff about how even though Obama didn't fight as hard as I'd like he was faced with unprecedented obstruction and breathtaking racism).

Doc(nodding): "The only one of the Republicans who seems reasonable is Santorum (as I said, he's not always well-informed!)."

Me: "Santorum wants to outlaw contraception".

Doc: "really!?!"

Game over.

THERE IS HOPE!

1. A wing-nut co-worker told our crew...

she wasn't going to vote at all in the General. GOOD!
That means no ReThugs or Tea-Baggers down ballot either. I hope there's millions just like her.
