Most of mine are like that, too! My dad and I are pretty much the only smart, sane ones of the bunch.
i am going to send this to my Jewish coworker. he just recently switched his Dem party registration to Independent, in Maryland. He is voting for Bush, albeit reluctantly, bc of the war on terror.
I think the hijacking of the word "liberal" (which used to mean the opposite of what it does today) by the Left has made it easier for Jews (and others) to remain leftists.
It's very easy and agreeable for one to proclaim pride at being something so compassionate sounding as a "liberal," but quite another to proclaim pride at being a socialist.
I honestly think the use of that word has made possible much of this idiocy.
I come to the conclusion that they do not take terrorism seriously plus the fact that my family has a lot of medical problems and are voting on that issue alone.
Paradigm shifts don't come by changing the minds of old, but by winning the minds of the young.
