I know a woman who, ostensibly conservative, voted for Obama because she was convinced that:
A. Both McCain and Obama were likely to not survive their term in office, and hence she wanted a VP with “experience”.
B. Palin should not have been running around campaigning because her kids needed her at home.
She told me recently that she was afraid our country was slipping into socialism, and my simple response was, “You contributed to it by voting for Obama.”
Your friend is neither conservative nor very morally grounded. She is, in plain fact, an idiot.
You should have pointed your finger at her face, laughed hysterically and told her that she’s been punked and everything she’ll get crammed down her throat by the Obama regime is her own fault.
