Anyone having any Pro-Bush moments lately?

[Timebound]

This is so weird, and very disturbing to me. My mother has been very outspoken against Bush for the last year and a half, and very anti-war. Now, very suddenly, over the last month, she's become Bush-supportive, and pro-war. She went from very ANTI-war, to very PRO-war. She went from HATING Bush, to SUPPORTING him.

WTF?!?!

This is not like my mother at all. Once she makes up her mind about something, she rarely changes it. She isn't concerned with vote fraud, even after looking at all the evidence. She says it will eventually swing back to the Dems, that they can't stack the vote forever. I KNOW she gets it. She is a very intelligent woman who right after the election sat there and told me about vote fraud over 300 years of US History, and that this was fraud too (and then she was all gung-ho about doing something about it).

She's gone from caring a whole lot to NOT caring. I DON'T understand it. If you knew her, and knew just HOW anti-war she was, and how anti-Bush she was, you'd agree.

In the last two months, I've noticed weird thoughts that will just spring into my head, and it's always when I'm watching TV. One night, I was in bed drifting off to sleep, faintly listening to a TV commercial when I had the weirdest thought:

"You know, Bush isn't all that bad. He's actually a pretty nice guy, I bet. He's just trying to protect us."

And after that, I sat staight up and was like 'WTF DID I JUST THINK?!?!'

And it's happened since then, but only when watching TV. I don't watch much TV at all, I am rarely home since about mid-November. And the weird thoughts stopped too.

I mean, does anyone think it's possible that they're sending us subliminal messages or something? I know that in movie theaters they used to have a single frame of some popcorn and coke, but it was too fast for someone to consciously notice. But it had the desired effect, sales went up. I know advertisers still use methods like that.

But does anyone think that they're doing something like that to keep the people in line? I just don't know how else to explain my mom's polar shift in attitude...

Has anyone else had any family or friends do similar things?
