My daughter saw Obama speak at the University of Oregon in spring of 2008. She called me gushing “He wants to change the country!” while walking home from the rally. I asked her what does he want to change and how? What do YOU want to change and why? What was wrong with your upbringing that makes you think we need to change? What is wrong with the US that needs changing? Not a SINGLE answer to any of those questions. She voted for him again this time, even after I told her the facts about his abomination of an administration. All that matters to her is women being able to kill their babies. Nothing else even exists with her. It is SO, SO sad for me on a personal level to have raised an intelligent and successful daughter that is so devoid of any common sense.
One of my father’s favorite sayings: Too Smart Too Dumb.
The democrats did a masterful job at creating ‘fear’ among the youth. Fear of the loss of abortion rights and fear that Romney wanted them all barefoot and pregnant.
They ‘feared’ a return to the 50’s. It made no sense.
