Reply #37: Don't feel bad--it will pass. I did the same thing to my best friend's dad & hit reply all!

[Indiana_Dem]

He emailed me the "the economy has gotten worse ever since the congress changed over in 2006" meme. He had never sent me anything before so he must've either sent it by mistake or on purpose. Either way, it ticked me off because I know what a staunch Repuke he is and he knew that I was a strong Dem. He also sent me the "Idiot Quote of the Century" email. So I know he was trying to irritate me.

I went ahead and sent a long rant about people not researching these emails and educated them on the economics 101 and the Federal Reserve. Needless to say nobody I sent it to has ever said a word to me about the email I hit "reply all" to. I knew at least 4 of them on his list--2 were my co-workers.(We live in a small conservative town). My friend did email me and said we would just have to agree to disagree but she never said anything to my face about it. I told her in a reply that she knows very well that I always send positive things and if they're political in nature, they are never anything false or rumorish in nature--they are always from newspapers or the campaign itself--all promoting the candidate. She couldn't disagree with that so nothing was said.

Anyway, it has passed now and some of them have obviously forgotten about it because they haven't been snubbish to me or anything. They just needed to know that not everyone adheres to their belief system. I'm glad I let my beliefs be known finally since everyone else is not afraid to let theirs be known!!
