Isn't this the same conversation you all had a couple of months ago? I think it went something like this:

Mike: Inflammatory remarks . . . blah blah blah, you guys are all wrong.

Mom: We are not wrong, you are, and this is why . . . blah blah blah . . . emotional tree-hugging stuff. Bush is bad.

Mike: No, you're wrong, and this is why . . . blah blah blah . . . You're too emotional (superior I'm-always-right tone) . . . yay for Bush.

Mom: Everything conservative = bad. Blah blah blah, yay for trees. I am NOT wrong (worked up tone).

Katy: Yeah!

Phil: I'm the only reasonable person here (superior, I'M always right tone).

Various other people: But . . . yeah . . . blah blah blah. We're liberals and proud of it.

Me: Something inane and totally off-topic to distract you guys from arguing about politics again.

Jody, Joe, John: . . . (non-posting slackers).

Mike: Yeah, but you guys are still wrong. And this is why I'm always right, and you're not. Ever. (extremely inflammatory remarks) But I don't mean to offend (cheery, I'm-still-right tone).

Mom: Oh you didn't offend, haha. But you're still wrong (trying-to-make-peace tone, but really holding it all in until she explodes). AND THIS IS WHY . . .

Mike: No, I'm never wrong, and again, this is why . . . blah blah blah blah.

Edie: Voice of Reason here . . . Mike, stop it.

Mike: But they're so wrong . . .

. . . .

Oh yeah, this one IS different. It starts out:

New guy: Hey, I've been noticing that most of you guys are wrong.

Mike: Yeah, you're right, new guy, they really are wrong, and this is why . . .

Mom: No we're not, and THIS is why . . . . . . . . . . .

*******

You people have pushed me to the point where, in a recent conversation with a friend, when he said "I don't vote", I said "GOOD". See what you're doing to me?

So anyway, a completely new topic would be nice.

Oh, and sorry if I offended anyone. It was all in good fun. =)

Thank you, Beth, for that last post. I'm going to print it out and paste it to my computer to remind me not to go down this road again.

To you, Mike, I can only say that you don't know me very well and you certainly didn't know your Dad all that well either. If anything, he was more liberal than I was in many areas and I think you'd be surprised if he could enter the discussions now. But if it pleases you to think that he was always the logical, sane one and that I am nothing more than a ditzy gray-haired blonde, so be it.
