Me?? I think I’ve been a member of the Democratic Party even before I was gleam in daddy's eye. Put off my wedding out here in California because I couldn’t stand the thought of Regan’s signature on a document that precious.
But I got put in my place today, a couple of times, as I drove (mostly) seniors to their polling places. It’s been a long time since I’ve been called "young lady".
Mr. "Jones" was my all time favorite. As we pulled up in front of the garage where he was to vote I told him he needed to take his buttons off before he went in. He straightened himself up, all five foot two. Gave me a glare and announced
"No damn Republican is going to get any of my buttons. These are my buttons; you keep your damn Republican hands off my buttons."
We finally did get things cleared up – that I was only going to hold them while he went into the Polling area and he would get every one back.
Gotta go, getting a couple of thermoses ready to take over to the precinct. It’s getting cold by California standards, almost done to 50 degrees.
