I talked to my ex-wife last week (and yes, we are on good terms, and I have sent her several things from here already about this), and she said that several of the list-serves and electronic news-groups that she belongs to are pushing this VERY heavily - believe it or not, this resounded with her strongly because of our SIX-year old! She sent me a couple of the emails (they have already been posted here in other threads) and they play on the fears of teens and mothers - both traditionally strong democratic groups. I have worked to change her mind (successful, I think) and have recruited her to start spreading the truth (or at least the links, the Urban Legend link, etc.) in her contact lists. Small effort, but the best I could do with an ex, who was planning to vote for Kerry less than a week ago, and is now planning to vote for Bush. I also had a conversation with my mother last night (head secretary at a high school in Colorado) and talked to her about the misinformation that was out there. I THINK I have her convinced to vote for Bush now, also, but she will need some shoring up. You would not believe the info that is being pushed on our voting age (and younger) teens and their mothers. Just my input... Carry on.
And very impressive! You've got me beat, I am in the process of swaying my ex boyfriend to vote for President Bush.
He sent me an email the day after the Rather fraud hit- piece, saying..."well, I don't really like Kerry, but I watched 60 Minutes, and Bush ducked his service in the guard....they're both bad...yadda, yadda."
I am slowly but surely getting him to come around. Got an email from him today saying he's starting to see Kerry for what he is, and that Dan Rather is an idiot.
