My ultra-liberal parents just voted early and voted for McCain! They have NEVER, EVER, EVER VOTED FOR A REPUBLICAN!!!
Watch this guys videos:

His presentation isn’t for everyone, but he will give you more talking points in a half hour of watching than you will EVER need for anyone truly reachable.
If you know one major issue where Obama is vulnerable, chances are he will give you an argument to make up their mind. His abortion arguments are amazing.
Its simple really.They are not so bright.
What the hell is going on here? Were we all raised by liberal parents? Did we all rebel?
My parents were JFK Democrats. Both have passed on but out of the 4 kids they had 3 (I’m one) are very conservative and the other is one of those 1% liberals.
LOL
Actually, even us geniuses typically do really stupid things . . . we tend to think we know a lot about everything when virtually always the brilliance is within reasonably narrow limits.
Yeah, they really are stupid about a lot of political and social forces stuff and particularly spiritual stuff.
Scripture is right.
THE FOOL has said in his heart, there is no God.
Here’s something to blow their minds. Show them know that, if you compare them side by side, the major policies of Kennedy and Reagan will bear a striking resemblance. In fact, Kennedy’s tax cuts are based on the same theories (and had the same results). The difference between the two is that Reagan was actually good at implementation and wasn’t being held back by a party largely trying to defend, among other things, racist policies.
Sure seems that way.
Heaven is gonna be so interesting, finally meeting all these talented family members.
and... why would a person vote for prop 8 and Obama? If 8 wins I have hope McCain wins.
RE: “I just held up signs for Proposition 8 on a crowded Southern California intersection. “

Where are you exactly? I’m in San Fernando Valley (L.A.) and would love to do what you’re doing.
You missed the point. If 8 wins, it is likely McCain will do well—even in California.
Exactly! How did Teddy and Robert turn out so opposite from JFK?
Then we are on the same page, because I cannot see any other scenario. I would love to see McCain carry CA for many reasons, not the least is I still have family and friends there.
RE: “I got a sister-in-law, and her mother, that are both as liberal and ditzy as the day is long. Bitter, angry nags, too, the both of them. They reside in or near Austin, Texas, a small liberal holdout area of the vast conservative state that is Texas.
They both early-voted for McCain. Didn’t want to vote for a black guy. I tried to explain that he was half white, but they weren’t having any of it.”

Well there you go! Bradley effect lives — I knew it would make a difference...
Sounds like Zo’s video - great stuff. God bless him.
RE: “What the hell is going on here? Were we all raised by liberal parents? Did we all rebel?”
*************
I was raised by Eisenhower-type Republicans. The whole extended family was Republican at the time. The only Dem I’ve voted for was the infamous Tom Bradley for L.A. Mayor when I was young and foolish. That didn’t work out so well; I have never made that mistake again.
I have posted this before but needs to be reposted
As I listen to my patients gripe about the election. The TV is on in their room and it is just one obama/McCain ad after another here in Toledo,Oh. Toledo is 80% Democrat, union thug socialist.
I had this retired teacher public schools for 40 years tell me she has always voted democrat. She even thought carter was not that bad, "he just did not know how to delegate" ( loved Clinton ). She said she is not voting this year because she does not trust Obama he came up to fast and their is something just not right. Now I have had a lot a patients like her they are not going to vote for Obama, now they not going to vote for McCain either but Thad's normal here.
The difference between Clinton and Obama is that Clinton did not hate his country. The teacher I had as a patient was one of the most educated and well traveled people I had ever spoken with. I could have disused issues in a civil manner with her. However I do not bring up politics or debate with my patients it is not the place to do so. I just listen and nod, and sometimes agree ( even if they are dead wrong ).
I do think McCain is going to win Ohio. He will not win Toledo, but there will be enough democrats that just won't vote for Obama so that McCain wins the state. McCain is not my first choice but I do like Palin. If it were not for Obama I most likely would have voted third party to send a massage to the RNC. T. Package RN
I must add a up date in the recant days BO has had some big negatives.
The Toledo Police Department confirms that one of its records clerks has been charged with performing an unlawful search of Joe The Plumber’s records. That makes two Ohio government employees identified in the snooping case. (Obama donor Helen Jones-Kelly, director of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, approved a separate search. More are being investigated.) http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2117929/posts.
2001 Obama Chicago Public Radio Interview - WBEZ.FM http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2116088/posts"
Florida TV reporter Barbara West asked hard hitting questions of Joe Biden http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2114731/posts
I think even more people are turning against BO even Democrats ( not the cool aid drinkers but normal hard working citizens). This is big stuff and not easily swept under the rug even with a media that is in the tank for BO.
I have a friend that told me that his mother is voting for McCain/Palin. See always votes democrat his father may not vote and he always votes democrat
The RNC needs to get some of this is ad here at the end and hit hard in OH, FL, PA, CO, it will pay off big. Just my thoughts.

Which one? Wilshire and Veteran?
I would like to see McCain take CA, too.
My McCain/Palin bumper sticker was peeled off my car in a parking garage in San Francisco today. the garage is run by a few guys from the Phillipines, I think. Nice guys.
So, I pick up the car (sticker was on when i parked it), and when I checked the rearview on the way to the freeway, it was gone. So, I called them up, and mentioned that it had been taken during the day. He said the cars are parked in the downstairs level where only the monthly parkers go, and they wouldn’t have done it. I said a monthly parker probably did it, and that while I liked parking in his garage, I didn’t want to keep losing bumper stickers. (I have a Maverick/Barracuda sticker, a flag and “WWJBD”.)
Then I told him it was a McCain/Palin sticker, and that I would never do that to an Obama sticker. He told me that he liked McCain, too, and would check to see if someone had thrown it out.
It was a pretty nice conversation - I was so pleased to hear this hardworking guy in San Francisco liked McCain.
I think there’s hope.
VOTE!
