not a big deal thread, but wanted to shout out. 4 kids came to son saying they're leaning democratic
Edited on Fri Sep-16-11 08:21 AM by seabeyond
now, who cares about kids. i hear ya. and four, big deal. BUT.. with all the bad talking for democrats, i am still open to all kinds of possibilities in over a year. son told me that in seperate occasions 3, 4 kids (later nailed to 4) have come to him saying, you are liberal. well i tell you, i am leaning towards dems. i don't like the teabaggers.

this is a very very red, fewest dem votes for president per, in the nation. these kids didnt figure this out for themselves. they are hearing it from the parents.

a shout out.

3. Sometimes change has to be generational.
We need to keep laying the foundation.

4. FWIW
My husband, life-long (old school) Repub, went and registered Dem the other day. Told him I was going to frame it :) I do appreciate, of course, the value of YOUTH leaning dem...

7. It seems that many RW'ers children become Dems while many Lefty's kids stay Lefty.
Possibly RW children rebelling against their ultra-conservative cultist upbringing.

8. maybe. i have had many kids interested and open to knowledge, information
and learning. during obama election kids would come over to play with son, yet follow me around with questions until i shoo'ed them away. i dont go to changing minds. i listen to what they say. give them facts. and theirs to decipher. it has always been a wonderful experience, if nothing else, to see the left isnt "evil" or "heathens".
