I was trying to get everyone to check the LGB...LOL. I was trying to get everyone to check the LGBT box so we could create the notion that Milton is a hotbed of gay life. "The San Francisco of the Northwest!" Alas, no one would play along.<BR/><BR/>But yes, WTF???? Why in the heck was that a question?? Same with race, really? It was just weird and it made me chuckle watching people try to figure out what it meant and whether to check it or not.MommyCherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558174520863388944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401398614291278602.post-17750066658116662412008-02-11T09:27:00.000-08:002008-02-11T09:27:00.000-08:00Oh, and yes, we go to the next meeting in April. T...Oh, and yes, we go to the next meeting in April. The Obamaites are driving (we're all carpooling) and they promise to drop us Clintonites off on the right place.<BR/><BR/>On the last comment, I kidded J. and said "should I check Transsexual" just for grins? <BR/><BR/>"Not if you want to continue being my mother," she retorted. No sense of humor, this girl.Barbara Clementshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14464706793258510546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401398614291278602.post-21334882918595401932008-02-10T19:38:00.000-08:002008-02-10T19:38:00.000-08:00Very funny.

Although I think you're right, we're toast once we get past the next level.<BR/><BR/>I think the funniest thing when declaring who I would support is the LBGT designation. ??? J. pointed this out to me and asked about it, and no one in our group knew, until someone told us it meant Lesbian, Bi, Gay or Transsexual designation.<BR/><BR/>Only in the demo party! <BR/><BR/>BarbaraBarbara Clementshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14464706793258510546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401398614291278602.post-52332838851555719782008-02-10T15:03:00.000-08:002008-02-10T15:03:00.000-08:00Yikes. Politics does bring out the nasty in everyo...Yikes. Politics does bring out the nasty in everyone, doesn't it? I was stunned by the open sexism at play. I heard that we can't elect a president because the rest of the world wouldn't respect her,and that really, we were reelecting Bill. As if she doesn't have a brain of her own. And these are the Democrats. Sigh.<BR/><BR/>I'm a delegate for Hillary as well -- in our precinct we ended up drawing lots for our last 2 delegates because there was a tie between Obama, Clinton and uncommitted. Clinton and uncommitted took the final 2 delegates. <BR/><BR/>I think my next caucus/convention/whatever isn't until April, though. Different legislative districts and counties, I guess. Given the numbers for Hillary, I doubt we'll both make it as far as the state convention in Spokane -- but it woulda been fun!MommyCherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558174520863388944noreply@blogger.com
