Obama is the sweet talking salesman at the elderly lady's front door selling her a new roof that she doesn't need at an exorbitant cost. It doesn't help that these old folks still watch the alphabet news shows. My elderly dem MIL keeps saying SHE doesn't see this on the news, so it doesn't exist. I am noticing she is watching FOX news channel during the day now, I dare not ask if that is changing.
Yep- and now I'm the crazy nutjob for saying the stuff I've said.
None of them use the Internet much, so I send them links, but there is a huge component of older people who still get all their news from CBS, CNN. I know a lot of them because of my various prayer groups.
They watch NPR for the "alternative" news.
I am sort of at a loss as to how to reach them. Ordinarily I wouldn't care so much, but now I feel like I need to get the truth out.
I think all I've basically convinced them of is that I'm a fruitcake.
