must be nice!  I work in an office that's predominately conservative.   
The office manager is a loon.  Background-info: She's a catholic who  
goes to mass almost every day at lunch.   There's also a don't ask  
don't tell feel about being a democrat in this office.  In my  
department of 6, I'm the only left leaner....My supervisor jokes that  
I'm the "token liberal"

On Halloween, one of my democratic leaning coworkers dressed up as  
Palin (She pulled it off really well).  She was awarded the best  
costume at our monthly birthday celebration and the office manager  
gave out the award.  As she handed it to her, she said, "I hope we  
have good news on Tuesday!".  One of the other young women in the  
office said, "I don't think you guys are on the same team".  An  
uncomfortable hush settled over the break room. The office manager  
said something polite and left.

After the my coworker left birthday celebration, the office manager  
came back into the break room and asked another employee, "Is  
<employee name> really that stupid?  Does <her supervisor name> know  
this?"

ahhhhh.....the joy of living in Texas.

As if freedom was a question of might
As if loyalty was black and white
You hear people say it all the time-
"My country wrong or right"
I want to know what that's got to do
With what it takes to find out what's true
With everyone from the President on down
Trying to keep it from you
