my business took me into many people's homes to work........I wouldn't say anything about politics, unless they brought the subject up so I would know where they stood.............

I would ask the wives, do you know who you're gonna vote for, not their name, but are you gonna be sure to vote, and know who you are gonna vote for...............Without exception, the Republican wives/mothers would answer: I do the house and kids, he does the money and politics and tells me who to vote for............Sometimes, when I asked a few weeks before the election, and it was a dem wife almost without exception they would say:
I don't know, I think I will watch the candidates commercials and decide after listening to them...............?????????
I usually said that ALL politicians lie in those commercials, and it is better to follow them and learn about what their record is......they would say:
I don't have time for that, I just vote and forget about it until the next election...........pretty well sums it up BRDS......

As I have said many times here:
The perfect title for a book about the past 45+ years would be: WHILE THE NATION SLEPT

or

They all were walking down the jungle path, swatting at the mosquitoes, and were oblivious to the herd of charging elephants. Pun Intended....

Always good chatting with you, please don't ever quit your daily posts. The first two things I read every day are your commentaries, and Heather Cox Richardson.......Thank you for all you contribute, it helps me stay sane........
