Stopped by a TX Dem Headquarters today.
I didn't really know what to call this diary. It's probably more of a rant and a self horn toot than anything, but I had to get it down and share with those who will understand.
I was passing through the heart of a small town in "conservative county" TX and I happened past an outdoor table set up with Dem signs and stickers. I already have all the paraphernalia I can use, but I stopped by just to give them traffic and support.
A few folks walked up, but one woman took me by surprise. Mid sixties, white hair, SUV driver. Kinda looked like someone who thought she was a pillar of her church and matriarch of her family. I wasn't sure whether to be happy or skeptical.
She wasn't very friendly and didn't really make eye contact, but asked for one of those plastic Obama lawn signs. She said she didn't need the stakes. When they asked if she'd be willing to give a donation for the sign she abruptly said, "No."
Here thought maybe I'd help by making a donation for her. I didn't like her tone. I started to get the sense that she was "using Obama resources", not necessarily getting it for support. But I was still holding out hope. Forever the optimist.
Then she did what sealed the deal.
She folded it in four, walked back to her car, stood behind it and wiped her butt with it in front of street traffic!
If it wasn't so stinkin' hysterical to see how LOW and DISGUSTING these type of people can stoop I might have gotten mad. I hope she feels really proud of herself. The best part is she HEARD me say I was going to donate for her. So, in your face you trashy thing. Your plan backfired.
Instead I DID make a donation for her. My own personal little Hell to Pay fundraiser.
