MY SAY: PLEASE JUST CALL ME MISTER

Yesterday, in what was a pleasant chat with a liberal friend, we agreed to eschew all talk of politics. However, like an itch that one has to scratch, I could see how uncomfortable and irritated she was becoming, so I said…”out with it….just say what’s on your mind….”

She responded: “How can any woman vote for Romney? He is so hostile to women’s issues….to birth control, to legal abortion, and he’s a war monger. How can you live with yourself by supporting that man?”

I shifted the conversation because facts only confuse ideologues…so I simply said…” You obviously think that foreign policy, support for Israel, a looming debt crisis, a deficit, millions on welfare and food stamps, immigration policies that are out of control, energy independence, and an economy choked with specious regulations, the threat of terrorism, and nukes in the hands of Islamic lunatics are all men’s issues.”

“So…..just call me mister.”
