Bizarre gym moment

So I walk over to the cable machine to do some tricep work.  As I do I see a guy I sort of know and a Haitian dude discussing something pretty loudly.  The guy I know is about as big of a Florida cracker/redneck as you can imagine.  Supposedly he has bragged to others how he is having relations with two women in addition to his wife in the past.

So anyway as I tune in I realize the conversation is about the presidential race.  I have this pegged immediately.  Surely the redneck dude is all about McCain, the Haitian likes Obama.  Well as I listened further I hear the redneck putting down McCain, saying he is basically an older version of Bush, listing all of the reasons he sucks.  The Haitian is firing back why “macon” (rhymes with bacon) is better.  I just stood there doing my reps not believing what I was hearing.  It went back and forth beyond my completing my 3 sets.  I walked away dumbfounded.
