Republican Closet

I've been there, done that. Since I live in Madison, WI, often times I am assumed to be a Democrat/Green party supporter. This usually manifests itself as someone starts in on how the Iraq war was unnecessary/unjust/illegal/treasonous/etc and Bush/Cheney/etc should be impeached, put on trial, or whatever.

Usually I just sit there and tune out the conversation or walk away. The only real defense mechanism I can use if I want to argue is to claim I'm a libertarian (and I am, but I don't vote that way usually). And lord forbid that I actually say I'm for Bush, because I will get a hearing to from the people there for the rest of the day.
