Reply #8: My grandpa and my mom's creepy boyfriend

[noonwitch]

Grandpa is 92. He always votes republican and always will. If he has a real issue against the republican running, he just won't vote. In 1986, he didn't vote in the Michigan governor's race because the GOP candidate was black. My Grandma hates Bush, but her vote was cast for him against her will by Grandpa. She's in a nursing home and he gets her absentee ballots at home and mails them in after voting for her. He's not exactly ashamed of his actions, either. As I said, he is 92.

My mom's creepy boyfriend that is obsessed with my 6 year old niece is a whole different matter. I won't discuss politics with him anymore, the last political discussion we had ended with me asking him "What the fuck do you know about Detroit? You grew up in Holland and lived most of your life in Maryland or Grand Rapids." This was in response to some blatantly racist statements made on his part.
