Out of the mouths of babes

The other night, they had a republican convention-type meeting at our community center.
The republican candidate for governor was there. News cameras and all. We use another room in that building for Olivia's
cheerleading practices. After the practice, I got in a conversation with another mom and Olivia and her friend, who
was riding home with us, went into the rep. meeting as it was breaking up. Olivia got to shake the hand of the guy who hopes to be NJ's next governor. I am not a very political person but don't vote for known crooks(heck Jersey has enough trouble with the unknown crooks we've unwittingly elected in the past, I see no reason to hire a known one) or people who oppose stem-cell research especially given our current situation with MM being in our lives. I'm not a card-carrying anything though I tend to vote democratic. I think this whole republican and democratic stuff should be thrown out anyhow
and I refer to bi-partisan as "bi-port-o-san" because too many times, both sides are full of........
well, you know what I mean. So luckily, I was not in this room because Olivia decided to announce that "my Mom is voting for Corzine"(our current governor, the democrat.) HA!! I guess only the folks that were right around her heard this, one being a man I'm friends with, and he got
a laugh out of it. I had to brief Olivia on the political etiquette of not telling who mommy and daddy are voting for ESPECIALLY in the midst of a republican convention. Too funny! I passed
the guy in the hall. Did not shake his hand. Then I heard what my kid had said to boot. OOPS!
I made Liv wash her hands when we got home. His palms have been greased too many times.
Can you spell k-i-c-k-b-a-c-k?

Ha! I love it! Gotta admire Olivia's honesty. After all, there's nothing wrong with disagreeing on these things. It's pretty rare that I have a strong visceral reaction to a politician, but I'll vote for Corzine too, because the other fella just seems so...unappetizing.
