Why I love my Pinko-Buttons

I was shopping before work and while talking to a sales lady, she noticed my buttons on my purse. She stopped mid-sentence and said "Thank God, Kerry!"

She works in a hoity-toity part of town where the car payments are higher than my .mortgage payment, and their homes are large enough to house a third-world country.

We started talking about Kerry VS Bush, and I found out she was a buddhist. (Appearances are deceiving!)

I usually get a wide range of comments on my buttons, either the term liberal spat out like an insult (as if there is something wrong with being open-minded) or like the above... "Finally! Another Democrat!"

I think it's funny how the democrats stick together in a primarily conservative part of the country. When we find others like ourselves we feel the need to say something to them in order to reaffirm our liberal spirits.

I just wonder how many buddhists support Dubya. My guess is none.
