Chipping away at my mom.
My mom is not what you would call an Obama fan. As she gets older, she is becoming more fundie as it were which puts her opposed to most of what I do. I don't think she is a McCain fan because she has never played him up. She at first said that she would vote for Nader primarily because I just think she isn't crazy about any candidate. I told her that Nader was not a possibility in NC but she could vote for Barr. My logic was that at least it wasn't a vote for McCain. So I talked to her tonight and she that she hadn't voted yet and that she was undecided. I told her to watch Obama's special tomorrow night. We'll see. At least I've got her thinking.

4. And why as she gets older is she becoming more of a McCain voter?

The older I get the more liberal I become.

What's up with that?

As I get older I'm better able to see the bullshit.

5. LOL We older liberals have seen all the bullshit and now we
recognize it right off the bat. I think as I've gotten older I've become a lot more tolerant and kinder, which I'm very glad about. My deep regret now is how we've treated animals and the environment.
