In reply to the discussion: my heart is breaking. my daughter is turning into a republican [View all]lexx21
(321 posts)She married a <cringe> republican and now touts that she has "always" been a republican. Now her track record is as follows:
1) Used to work for the AFLCIO
2) Has always supported unions
3) Told my bio-dad that he would vote straight ticket Democrat (caused a divorce on that one)
4) Laughed saying at least Clinton could zip his own pants when asked about Dole
5) Campaigned for LBJ
Sounds like a republican at heart, right?
A lot of times those that we love fall from the golden path of truth due to whom they take as SO partners. While it can be fun to bait them into conversations to support their decisions, in the end we end up treating them like the slow kid in class. You just hope they don't pick their noses and wet themselves in front of company.
It was nothing that you did, but just part of her personality (wonderful as she may be) that causes her to "go with the flow", and in this case the flow comes from her conservative boyfriend. No pun intended with that....
