So....

In American Politics class, we were talking about Conservatives and Liberals.

And, one of my classmates, who is an idiot anyway, kept asking lots of questions.

Outside of class, as we were traversing the halls (I was trapped behind the pack of fuckers), she announced that our professor, Mr. Zant, is a Conservative Republican. When asked to explain how she reached this conclusion by one of her sycophants, she replied...

"When I axed him if he thought Bush was going to be re-elected, he said all that stuff about it being too soon to tell, and that Bush was working on pleasing both the middle and the Conservatives."

Yeah. That makes so much sense.

She also made the statement in class, that, since we allowed Osama and his people to train and learn and be educated in America, it was OUR FAULT that they flew into the towers.

uhuh.

Honey, you just lost ANY respect I had for you.

Highly amusing, though, I decided that supporters of the Shrub (Bush, Jr) are Shrubberies.

It is also amusing to look over my notes, and see how many comments I have telling her to shut the fuck up.

hrm. okie.

Um, I think the Shrub will probably be re-elected, assuming he doesn't do anything in the next year and a half or so to screw up badly, because the war has made him popular. (Wars tend to do that, unless they drag on too long, and lots of soldiers start coming home in bags) Does that (snicker) make me (snicker) a (snicker) "Conservative Republican"? (Guffaw, chortle, roll on floor)

Seriously, that's the type that gives liberals a bad name.

Well, Zant's point was also that when Congress (it is them, iirc) gets elected this fall, it could definitely change things.... Er, one of his points.

*snicker*

If you're a conservative, does that make me a fascist?
*runs*

Actually, Bush Sr. had extremely high popularity ratings after the Gulf War and still lost on re-election. It's still too early. If this had happened in the year before the election, perhaps, it would be a slam dunk, but people's memories are very short.
