I'm one of them. I fight with my parents (in their 70's) all the time. My mother said to me this a.m. that America is her home, not Israel. And that she's anti death penalty and how Bush loved signing the bills to execute people when he was Gov. of Texas, and yada yada yada, go figure. Can't believe I"m their daughter, I'm sooo the opposite. Oh and I was told I'm not smart enough to vote, that I don't know issues and haven't been around long enough to understand politics..BTW..I'M 50!!!

Aaargh! I get so tired of the people who think President Bush had any control over the death penalty in Texas.

Tell your Mom that as Governor of Texas, the only control he had over the death penalty would be to issue a 30 day stay and there has to be a valid reason to do so.

No Governor of Texas, whether democrat or republican can stop an execution except to issue a 30 day stay pending a new appeal.

I email mine (older brothers and sisters) all the time about Bush & Kerry and their reply is "Oh, she thinks she's so smart now that she moved to California."

You see, they are all Democraps, bigots, racist and Jew haters. Little did they know that I knew what they were since I was quite young and couldn't wait for the day that I could move away from them.

It is much easier to love them from afar then put up with their whiny drivel everyday, even in my own home.
