I spent most of my business career surrounded by Jumbos so generally avoid the P word. It is really quite extraordinary how super sharp people will jettison all their value judgements when it comes to politics. The only similar suspension of belief I've come across is in religious types and occasionally amongst the nomenklatura in the Soviet Union in the 70's. D's are guilty of it too of course but there doesn't seem to be quite the same cult like quality about it. You're probably safe to put this up TT, no one is going to scroll this far back haha Brummagem Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00998868549766033751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-46003865165207748942012-11-23T01:54:28.891-05:002012-11-23T01:54:28.891-05:00Anon- I don't really sell insurance.

I still don't talk to my father in law about politics (he's a retired O6) but I don't let my children hear his nonsense. <br /><br />Great story. <br /><br />Paul in NoVAPaul in NoVAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05852228787907680110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-19988621421544780372012-11-07T12:23:41.416-05:002012-11-07T12:23:41.416-05:00Alan- Yes, IL.

A friend of mine went to vote in the primary that year, and in Illinois one requested a Democratic or Republican ballot. When he requested a Democratic ballot, one of the Lake Forest matrons behind the table said to her friend, "Y'know, I knew a Democrat once, too!"
