You have a stark political difference of opinion from any New Yorker that I know. Do they hate you up there? Serious question.
My New York friends think I am so smart that my political views cannot be true and that I am winding them up. I play along by using republican phrases like" job creators" and. We all have a laugh.
If they found out that you really do think Karl Rove is an amazing human being and that you want to fall asleep inside of Dick Cheney that they would ever talk to you again?
I am the most well liked person in all my friend circles so I can get away with a lot. But I do have friends that are genuinely pissed. But they are stupid. Smarter people disagree happily.
