- The people walking down Main Street (real name) with the float for the local republican party was about as lily-white as white can get.
- The crowd cheered much harder--in a decidedly republican leaning area--for the Democratic parade participants.
- Republicans are better organized and look more out of a Norman Rockwell painting than Democrats--we were a ragtag bunch, but a much better representation of the true America. Women, young people, Latinos, Asians, African-Americans--it was a true melting pot.
- Our parade participants had at least ten times the enthusiasm as republicans, and many of them were holding signs in support of Obamacare. The Supreme Court victory may have rejuvenated our side as much as theirs.
- For all my bitching and disappointment concerning our party, it took me at least a millisecond to start hooting and hollering when the Democrats' group was announced over the P.A. Despite our faults, we are still the best political party when it comes to helping other folks, and it--cornpone time!--makes me proud to be a member.
Belated Happy Fourth of July!
Peace,
