My elderly father, who loves being a contrarian, told me he is voting for Obama. So I told him to make other plans on Election Day, because I won’t drive him to the polling location. My mom won’t, either.
find the George Will recent column that discusses the death panels in Obamacare - something that can be repealed only in during a window 2017 by 3/5 of the Congress and then never at all. Clearly unconstitutional but in place forever unless someone figures a way around it.
Does you father like the idea of death panels?
I support your decision. My folks wanted to vote for Clinton in 1996 and depended on me to get them to the polls. I refused. My father was furious and said I was denying him his right to vote. I explained that I was doing no such thing. I was exercising my right to decide who gets to ride in my car and when.
That’s pretty much what I’m going to say to Mom if she says she’s planning to vote for Obama again. She’s capable of getting there herself, so that’s all I need to know.
