Keep working on her. It is working.

Alas, I'd try that with my Mother, but she is such a pacifist and libertarian that I'd never convince her of such information.

She's still my Mom, but I won't talk politics with her.

I think the ones who are seeing things as they are regarding the Democratic Party are those who grew up being made to believe that the Dims "care for the little guy" and the working man in general. They never stopped to consider how terms like "safety net" and others are thrown about because they sound and "feel" good, not because they actually represent what the party represents. The ones who are actually starting to step back and take another look at things, and think for themselves, are finally realizing that the Dims is NOT the party of American values.

I hope they also see through stuff like the following, pointed out in yesterday's "Best of the Web":

Homelessness Rediscovery Watch


"If George W. Bush becomes president, the armies of the homeless, hundreds of thousands strong, will once again be used to illustrate the opposition's arguments about welfare, the economy, and taxation."--Mark Helprin, Oct. 31, 2000

"Homelessness Grows as More Live Check-to-Check"--front-page headline, USA Today, Aug. 12, 2003
