My liberal mother changed stripes too! She's ashamed she voted for Clinton, twice.
After years of talking to her, and sending all sorts of info culled from FR threads, I knew the conversion was complete when, upon seeing Leslie Stall on cBS, I alluded to her wacko-liberal stance and mom replied, "all those nuts on 60 minutes are liberal wackos!"
Boy did that feel great!
My motto is: "One mind at a time, one day at a time"
Keeps me sane...barely!
