Reply #71: I had super flirtatious thing going (inappropriate as we are both married) w/ RW friend

[K8-EEE]

One time he said something that struck me so asshole-y that I was literally grossed out and kind of have been ever since although we still see each other socially occasionally. I totally remember what it was. I used to think "OK he's Republican but not one of THOSE Republicans.....it's not like he's a big asshole." Then we had a grocery strike here in L.A. I mentioned that I had avoided such and such a store not to cross the picket line.

He said to me like a joke, oh, those poor checkers, they need MONEY and BENEFITS....as if they deserve that! all the do is go *beep* *beep* *beep!*] Then he said, I love the strike, it's great, no waiting in line at the store!

I didn't even respond to it but I was thinking, WHAT AN ASSHOLE.

For some reason that was like a bucket of water in my face I was like UGH!! Oh and btw since then he has had a full blown affair with this nutcase woman and both she and his wife are miserable.

In my experience -- left wing guys are the way to go! If you want a thinking, feeling person who has compassion for others & is not an ASS.
