Amazing! What did most Republicans LEARN from this Obama victory? NOTHING!

25. Some of my best friends are...

I have a couple of brothers who are staunch conservatives and libertarians. Two observation since the election:

1. How many Republicans are there, really? Many folks that voted for Mr. Romney have since the election - are distancing themselves from not only Mitt, but the GOP, as well. Most describe themselves as either "conservative" or "libertarian." And, go into a tirade on how flawed the GOP is (in which establishment GOP is Big Government and closely representative of Democratic Party - just without the hippie calories). Nearly two weeks since the election, I cannot find anyone who cops to being a Republican.

2. Two of my brother, of the six males in my family - all of whom voted Republican (with the exception of myself, I am the only liberal out of a Catholic Scott/Irish family of nine siblings), went on to explain how many 'friends' they have that are brown, black, or yellow in terms of skin color. Which seems weird due to the fact that all my brothers and sisters are good people and extremely successful. I have siblings that are very skilled and white collar professionals, that by vocation are : doctors, lawyers, engineers, commodities traders on the NYSE, an air traffic controller, and nursing home administrator. My parents are very proud of their children, but disappointed with their offspring's political leanings (both parents were liberal Democrats). I would have never predicted that that I would hear from family members, "Why, some of my best friend are...."
