Yeah, I have somebody like that in my family (through marriage) here in Massachusetts. A real certifiable left-wing whack-job. She's been especially insufferable since the 2008 elections and still sports Bush-hating bumper stickers on her beat-up car. My nickname for her is Debbie Downer (after the SNL skit) because no matter what you say to her, she turns it into a depressing left-wing rant. She actually seems to believe that everything wrong in the world can be tied back to George Bush, Dick Cheney and Haliburton (or a combination thereof).
However, at a family gathering a couple weeks ago, she was utterly apoplectic over the fact that Scott Brown defeated Martha Coakley for the senate race here. I mean she was literally ready to break into tears when the topic came up. I was loving every minute of it.
I guess I need to watch my back...those folks are crazy and come November, they are going to be even crazier!
I have a relative like that. And the funniest part of it is that he works for Haliburton!
