Congressmen Bobs Coffee and Biscuits
I went to see Congressman Bob Etherege 2nd district North Carolina, Saturday just to hear what the other side had to say. You see I like to hear all sides before I make a final decision and then even after I do make a decision, I still like to make sure I have all the facts. Yes do not worry I still plan on voting for Dan Mansell, for he is in my opinion the best man for the job. Plus Bob has become too entrenched in the extreme socialist liberal spread the wealth mentality. Everybody there seemed friendly enough even when I explained that I was supporting the other guy. They even offered me coffee and biscuits and to be honest I was surprised that they were so friendly and it restored my faith in our system. You see when you watch the National news you all ways see this hatred on the left for anyone that does not agree with their opinion. So it was good to see just normal folk just like me talking politics in a calm and respectful manner. Matter of fact Saturday I did most of the people had some of the same opinions as I did so I was surprised they were still Democrats. Except for Congressman Bob being there I would have thought I was at a Dan Mansell for congress meeting. But then again I have found this to be the case so many times when I talk to my Democrat friends. They support the Conservative Republican ideas for lower taxes, the right to bare arms, the right for free speech, a strong military, the right for school choice (School Vouchers) and smaller government. Matter of fact we disagreed on very little so why are they supporting a party that wants to limit free speech, that wants big government, and spread the wealth aka Socialism I can not explain. A bright light at Bobs Coffee and biscuits breakfast was most of the people I talked too said in private and asked not to mention their names that they were voting a split ticket. They did not say who they were voting for but the idea that they like me do not always vote a straight ticket was encouraging. Maybe there is hope yet.
