Guys from AFP just came to do a survey.

They told me who they were rather quickly so I didn't catch it right away. I knew they were political and before they started I told them that I was thinking of putting a sign on my door saying my decisions are made and blah blah, don't bother me. I did get a chuckle on that.

So I asked them again who they were with and they said Americans for Prosperity. Apparently I made a slight expression because one said it appears you know who we are. I said I do. Apparently my face changed a little more because he said it looks like you have an opinion. I said I sure do and you probably would not want to hear it. They said they did so....

Then I let it rip. Before I vote for ANY republican from the national level all the way down to the local level this party has to change. Right now the White House is corrupt and the GOP is not only enabling it and encouraging it but they themselves ate off the apple. They are all corrupt. I hope you take that back to them because I know they sure as hell are not hearing us in the streets. And somewhere in this whole rant I threw in the big dark money donors but I can't remember what I said.

(I am a little 85 pound, white haired old lady who talks with her hands and face)

Then I said, ok I am done because you guys are backing away from me like I am the crazy lady down the street ranting and raving.

Their expression was priceless.

Well done. When I get wound up, my kiddo says “Mama I love it when you go all Montana on somebody”. Sounds like you went all Montana on the AFP. Sweet!

Ps...I didn’t know the AFP went door to door. I’ll be ready!

I get a lot of people at my door but this is the first year from the AFP. It was one of kids first night and I was his first door. I almost felt bad for them.
