Farfield, CA: What No Grandson Should Have to Hear...

Posted at 8:32 PM

"You know, I'm tired of keeping my mouth shut. Your party has been in complete control for more than four years, and all you can do is keep blaming everything on the Democrats because your guys are screwing everything up."
"Oh, that's ridiculous!"
"Look at the deficits! Look at the tax cuts for the rich! Look at the needless war! Look at the blatant disregard for the environment!"
"Baloney! It's about time we got some de-regulation. Thirty years of regulations have pushed this country down the tubes! All these damn socialists..."
"Always this talk about socialism...you're still living in the fifties, Daddy. You don't even know what socialism is..."
"I am darn proud to be a Goldwater Republican! Privatization has made this nation strong."
"Nobody ever said privatization was wrong. But you always talk about big business like it was your friend. You think these CEOs in their outrageous salaries give a crap about you?"
"The market determines their salaries, not them."
"Give me a break."
"As a shareholder, you can vote upon their salaries. If you don't like their salaries, then don't buy their stock!"
"No we can't, Daddy. Are you kidding me? You and I aren't those kind of investors."
"These idiot liberals make you think we don't have the freedom to choose what we want by our dollar."
"Your problem is if someone doesn't agree with you, they're an idiot. You can't make the argument, you resort to the word idiot."
"Oh, that's ridiculous! Where did we go wrong with you kids? Four of you, and only one turned out to be a Republican."
"You know, you talk like a Nazi!"
"Outrageous!"
"If people don't agree with you, you just condemn them. You write them off completely if they have a different way of living than you. You want everyone to be exactly the same as you."
"I can't believe this! Take your mother home, Gav."
"I'll happily get my purse. Do you need anything else before we leave?"
