Foreign Policy Hands' Disbelief atRomney Statement

[basilosaurus]

I wish I could start political conversations in my family. The only thing discussed are mild pro-Republicanisms from my grandparents, and I'm just expected to listen quietly and not debate.

But, a couple weeks ago, Gramma mentioned that Romney has tons of foreign policy experience, and I slightly challenged her on that, until she said she didn't want to talk politics. I'd love to find out her reasoning and defense, especially today. She'd never change her vote, though. She hates Obama more than Clinton which is saying a lot.

Romney has tons of foreign policy experience? That's a new one for me. I'm pretty sure the Olympics doesn't count.

Yeah, I don't know where she got that. I'm sure it was a telephone game. Like, my grandfather probably read something in WFJ, twisted it when he told Gramma, and then her memory of it twisted even further.

Maybe "has accounts in foreign countries" sparked it

He doesn't. Sounds familiar. Look, I think he should not have spoken on this fp issue, but do people have this short term of a memory? For realz?

I was thinking the same thing. You beat me to it.

I thought maybe I was mis-remembering.

Well, feel better. I already got unfriended over it.

Really? That is crazy. I don't blame you at all...obviously the creators and the whole season is just draining. Sorry, I hope it didint come across as personal!
