If MN went red this election, it would definitely be a happy day in my house. I spoke with my “lib” father this evening. He said that he is considering voting for Romney because he is concerned about the economy and national debt and doesn’t think Obama is willing to fix the problem. If HE is considering voting for Romney, there must be many other limbs considering it too.
Oops. I meant “libs,” not limbs! :-)
Your dad is a lib?? My brother is a union-loving libtard and most of my relatives. For the past 4 years, I got it up to here on their zingers about being a right-winger but once Mitt is in, I’ll make sure to gloat during the Christmas dinner. I’m so excited I get a tingle up my leg..
Wow, MNGal, that is something. How do you have a lib dad and you’re a FReeper? That has to be interesting. I’m the daughter of broken glass South Dakota Republicans.
I don’t see MN going red either. Just isn’t going to happen.
It is going to be very difficult for him to do this and he needs lots of comfort.
Try this with your dad:
“Dad, you know 0bama’s going to win Minnesota, so you and your buddies should vote your wallets and go for Romney. The result will be the same but you’ll still be able to feel warm inside for doing right by your financial situation.”
If a few thousand people convinced their family members to do that and they each convinced one or two others, election day could show some much better results. Barring that, you could suggest that he simply leave the presidential box unchecked as a protest vote against the debt and deficit situation.
