one of my co-workers spews an endless commentary, much of it as malicious and small-minded as anything Sam could dream up. Fortunately I don't normally have to work with him, but I *have* had to say to him, "Look, you don't need to convince me. We support the same candidate. Now, I am trying to work." I hope there are not too many of him out there because he could easily push an undecided the opposite way of what he wants. I know I was very offended by the way he went on about Hilary Clinton.
The two people I do work with on a daily basis are pro-McCain and while we camment on the news -- the boss keeps CNN on -- we avoid getting into heated discussions about candidates. I know their minds are made up, so I don't bother. Presumably they feel the same. Another guy I work with on weekends brought up some points eh had heard on Hannity and a couple of us laid out an opposing argument and left it at that. the boss is, I suspect, a McCain guy, but again, we don't go there. Closest we have come was when I put a sign on the locked door to our building with directions to the early voting site. Some officials were giving somewhat confusion directions and voters were winding up there. He seemed to think that people should be able to figure it out, but I convinced him that even stupid people are entitled to vote ;) On Wed, Oct 29, 2008 at 10:07 AM, Ray Champagne <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > None from the top, but the conversation ALWAYS moves to politics when I am > in the office, with a couple of people getting so passionate and emotional > that it's pretty sickening.
