Do you know anyone voting Romney?

31. Do we have the same kids???

My situation is exactly the same that you describe. We tried to talk to them this time to vote in their own best interest but to no avail. We had to agree to not even approach the subject just to keep peace in the family. My son is not a kid...he is 43....wife is 38. She strongly influences him and they are both influenced by their fundamentalist church. It grieves me that my son has forgotten so much of what he learned as a child. They are really HARD on the poor, as they seem to want to blame them for their plight and have no room in their hearts for charity toward the less fortunate.

I hope that some day he realizes how badly they have been duped by the Republican Party. They are a working class family with three children, ages 8, 11 and 14. The Republicans will not help them but they got distracted by issues like "a war on Christianity", abortion and emotional issues like that. They do not think critically and listen to the "authorities" at their church. My daughter in law actually used THAT word the last time I tried to discuss politics with her and that is when I knew it was a lost cause. A LOT of people in this country have been brain washed by their church leaders, Fox News and Rush. A sad day for sure. I'd like to think that some day they will realize how they were misled but it could take a very long time and many, many election cycles before they "get it".
