My MIL insists that Barack is a Republican;
She doesn't say why, but we will all be fooled soon. Have any of you heard of this?

4. Yeah, I know that, but she thinks she has some"inside" info.
I told her I can't find anything, anywhere, to support her.

6. Tell her to pony up then
Would she be in a position to have info like that? Has he been playing some elaborate game for his entire political career?

10. I know, she's in her late 70's, and totally for Hillary..
I was on the fence about both. At least she (a reformed Catholic) is progressive. But this hatred of Obama has me worried. She is living in Portland, Oregon, and she is old, and she does complain about "the Mexicans" there a lot, but she's not prejudiced, okay? Why do I bother to talk to her...

15. I've practically said that...
I did diss the state of Oregon for being, for the most part, closed-minded. I give up on trying to be the voice of reason.

"Ronald Reagan changed the trajectory of America in a way that Richard Nixon did not, and a way that Bill Clinton did not,"

You will find it to be very liberal.

interesting things.

18. She doesn't believe in Fox News..
She's totally for Hillary, which is fine by me. I just think Obama would be the best choice.

19. I have it on the best authority of my aunt that Obama is a "Muslin".
And yes, she said "Muslin".

22. The thing is, she's very left wing. But she's also bigoted, but won't admit it.
Now that she's with "certain sides" of her family in Oregon, she's taken on this weird, left wing, yet racist attitude, with a dose of Christianity thrown in. I don't talk to her much, to say the least.

20. he's everything but a Democratic with liberal views
according to people who are scared of change. Tell your MIL about my best friend's mom who insists that he's a Muslim! Tell them they cancel each other out - and he is what he says he is - embrace the hope we have in Obama!

21. They are only concerned about health care.
I don't blame them a bit, but I hava a future grandchild, and I think a total change, if it can happen, will be the best thing this earth can have.

24. My MIL insists that he's Muslim
It seems that we both have extraordinarily ignorant Mothers-In-Law.
