I’m intrigued, please clarify what you mean by ecologically speaking?

Oh sorry! Thank you for clarifying, I honestly don’t know too much about Spanish politics.

So you made an awkward declaration about who he is and when he didn’t fight your declaration you decided to hold it against him?

I can see countless reasons why one might agree when they are not actually a Republican. It was an awkward question and he thought it was some kind of joke? Or perhaps he thought agreeing would be the quickest way to avoid an argument. Or maybe he didn’t think you were trying to entrap him and he wanted you to like him.

New Mexico is a blue-ish State so there’s a good chance he might not actually be a Republican.

Same, I had this happen as a child and I haven’t used a Qtip for that purpose in a long time. Anytime the subject of qtips comes to I always warn people to not use them for that purpose, and I always get blank stares and a “No, I’m going to keep using my qtips, thank you.” It’s really annoying.
