FOTD XXIX - Ron Paul Passengers from Pahrump

Ron Paul won Nye County with nearly 38% of the vote. Today I took a radiocall at Sunset & Durango. I call them up and give them an ETA and I meet up at the gas station. I pick up a couple that lives out in Pahrump, NV - yes home of the legal brothels - they were on their way to the airport to go on a 14 day trip to Italy. The Wife was last there 30 years ago as a nineteen year old and the dude has never been, they are going to Florence, and some other place.

Anyways, their car breaks down along the way and they are tripping out. IMAGINE THEIR SITUATION. Obviously you don't talk about politics or other sensitive subject when you're driving strangers to their destination.. but the woman let slip a key phrase

"I HOPE YOU'RE NOT A SOCIALIST"

LOL ZOMG. So I follow up with, oh you guys must be Ron Paul supporters (aka survivalists, radicals, constitutionalists). "yes we are" .. I share with them that I was a County Delegate and they share with me they were State Delegates. They were stoked that I was a (former) Ron Paul supporter driving them to the airport.

But guys, there is a reason they live out in Pahrump. They were a little koo koo.
