The Long Game

[Liberal Gramma]

Three of my grandchildren will be voting for the first time in this election. I have been talking to them about liberal politics since they were in pre-school. Each one will be casting his first vote for Obama. Yay!

1. You can add my four, "brainwashed" every one of them,

by explaining just exactly how corrupt, racist, sexist, and disfunctional our economic and political systems really are, and always have been. Being an older white guy myself, they listened.

And thank you.

2. Paying it backwards . . . my daughter 'brainwashed' me . . .

A young woman now, she has been a Liberal since the day she was born! She's just a natural Democrat. I used to consider myself as an Independent, but my daughter brought me over to the right way of thinking about 5 years ago.

Now I've paid it backwards . . . I recently convinced my lifelong-republican mother to vote for Obama!
