Got an invite to the “Republican Club Family Picnic”. I know and am friendly with many Republicans. Doesn’t mean I want to go to their picnic. Of course, the invitation is really not for me- it’s just addressed to both of us because assumptions have been made about us- both registered independants. I won’t be going. Pat might be.
I know better than to discuss my husband’s politics. Lets just say- we agree much more than we disagree, but we see things differently, come to our conclusions differently, see different paths to the future. It’s always been this way- he’s often influenced me to think differently, and I’ve done the same with him, and we have this middle ground we live in. It works for us, it’s almost like a private dance we’ve perfected over the years.
But to outsiders- who haven’t seen the dance- I’m sure it looks much different. And this Republican Club picnic is another step on the road to pushing our dance out into the public eye. I’m not sure I like that idea, and I feel myself bracing.
But if it happens- this dance has two leads. I may take a step back, but I’ll be stepping forward with the next beat.
Sounds a lot like us! But we’re a registered Democrat and Republican (the only way to vote in primaries in KY) who have come to realize we’re both flaming moderates.
I will say that the Republicans seems to spend a lot more money on mailings than the Democrats.
I am Democrat.. but have sat to break bread with Republicans if the food is free..
Thanks for visiting me via Michele today! Come back anytime! Us Jersey chicks gotta stick together!!!
Luckily, my husband and I are both Democrats, although I am much more liberal and outspoken than he is. I’m afraid even if the food was free, I couldn’t go to a Republican fundraiser, although I do have Republican friends.
BGM- the invite came from a neighbor who easily could have saved 37 cents and walked it over ;).
debby- yes, the free food is a temptation, no doubt about it…
TJG- hi and thanks for coming by! I’ve got lots of Republican friends- we live in the right-wing section of NJ!
