OT: Why are my parents such die-hard republicans??? [View All]

[StoryTeller]

I don't get it! I jokingly told my mom on the phone a couple minutes ago to vote for Jim Esch (our NE congressional candidate.) First, she said, "Well, I don't think we can--not the right district." I told her he was running against Lee Terry, and then she said, "Well, we're not voting for Jim Esch, then." I told her a few things about him that should have softened her viewpoint on him, and she said, "Yes, I know all about him. We're not voting for him."

Oh sure, she knows ALL about him--just had NO idea what office he was running for! What a bunch of BS! All they're doing is voting straight ticket R or whoever Focus on the Family's voting guide tells them to vote for (same thing, really).

UGH! They are extremely intelligent people. Why do they have to be so ridiculously loyal to a party that doesn't even represent what they really believe! They are SOOOOO brainwashed!
