Do You Personally Know ANYBODY Who Voted For Gore In 2000, But...

Poll question: Do You Personally Know ANYBODY Who Voted For Gore In 2000, But...

is going to vote for Bush in 2004???

:shrug:

Then consider the reverse.

[Hello_Kitty]

1. Unfortunately I do know someone

She voted for Gore but now she's backing * because "he brought the country together after 9-11 and I think God must have wanted him in office then" and "he just seems stronger against the terrorists". She's a dumbass.

[WillyT]

3. Yep... One Thing We Will Know On Election Night, Is The Percentage...

and number of Dumbasses (Bush supporters) in this country!

:evilgrin:

[politicat]

12. Can you convince her that Republicans are supposed to vote on Wednesday?

*hoping*

Pcat

[mitchum]

14. She is indeed a dumbass. Ask her if she's willing to swap her car...

for some magic beans. I bet she will go for it :)

[hyphenate]

29. Dumbass?

I don't know--I would definitely say off her rocker, though. ;)

[WillyT]

2. For Those Who Answered 'Yes', What Is Their Justification ???

I really want to know.

:shrug:

[spotbird]

4. I've met some canvassing.

Terra, flip-flopper, terra, leadership, terra....

You get the picture, they are definitely out there.

[WillyT]

5. I Can Imagine... The Real Question Is...

is the number of people who voted for Bush in 2000, but gonna vote for Kerry in 2004, larger than the other number.

I have to believe that it is, or will be by election day.

:shrug:

7. It's my ex-brother -in-law -

Said he doesn't care for Bush, thinks we should not have invaded Iraq, but doesn't like the idea that Kerry doesn't want an amendment to the Constitution banning gay marriage. I think he thought that Kerry supports gay marriage. I sent him a link to a speech given by Kerry's daughters stating that they support gay marriage but Kerry supports civil unions which give gays all the rights of a married couple. (I myself support gay marriage.) The really stupid thing he said was that "if gays are a allowed to marry, what's next someone can marry a horse?" That was absolutely the most ignorant thing I've ever heard come out of his mouth.

His next comment was that Kerry is wishy-washy. I asked him to explain the actual circumstance and whether or not if Kerry did change his mind, whether or not he knew the reasoning behind it. He could not give me one example which leads me to believe he's listening to other people's garbage.

I have to spend several hours in a car with him on Wednesday and Thursday on the way to a family gathering. I am going to do my best not to get into it with him. God give me strength!

10. Sounds Like He's Listening To Santorum On The Marrying A Horse Thing !!!

:hi:

Good luck!!!

[kat21]

27. Thanks -

I'm going to need it. My patience runs thin sometimes.

[ieoeja]

6. Yes.

I know this one neurotic coward who stopped playing D&D after 9-11 because D&D glorifies terrorism. He now just wants all the bad people to go away. And W says he will make all the bad people go away. So he is voting for W.

[hyphenate]

30. Geez

Most D&Ders I know, while not truly involved in politics, are more liberal than conservative. What kind of "holy roller" could ever even get into D&D with any kind of interest?

8. My Aunt is an "independent"

She liked Gore very much (although I think more because she associates him Clinton than anything else -- she's a HUGE Clinton fan).

But for whatever reason she can't stand Kerry. Simple as that -- I can't explain it :shrug:.

[WillyT]

11. Do You Think It's A Northern\Southern Thing ???

Both Clinton and Gore were from the South. And * pretends to be. Does she have a problem with those 'Yankee Intellectuals'?

Just trying to figure some of the thinking out.

:hi:

[Shrek]

15. That might be possible

We're from the midwest, not the south, but the same sort of resentment of elites or intellectuals is common here. I know she felt a real kinship with Clinton and Gore and maybe that's something she lacks with Kerry.

But she's not a hard-core Bush supporter by any means, so Kerry has a chance to win her over (I know she'll be watching the debates).

[babylonsister]

25. Someone else to think about,

like my mother-in-law. She's voted democratic for most of her life, but living in MA she can't stand Kerry for whatever reason, and there's no arguing with her. But she also now refuses to fly, so that could be the actual connection.

[grace0418]

9. I don't know anyone

I know some who voted for Bush and Nader in 2000 who are switching to Kerry, but I don't know ANYONE going the other way. I would have to question the sanity of someone who did.

[WillyT]

13. Me Too Grace, Me Too...

And their intellectual honesty, and their sense of history, and their concept of what America is, and... and... and...

:hi:

[Minimus]

16. unfortunately my sister

her reasoning is her son (my nephew)is now stationed in Iraq and she feels it is important to support her son by supporting in CiC. I have tried every way to explain how getting rid of bush will help get her son home quicker and prevent him from going back.

She will not discuss it with me. She actually backed out on a family vacation last week because she did not want to hear me bash bush for a week. Oh well, she missed a great all-expenses-paid-by-our-Dad vacation just because she didn't want to hear the facts! Mom told her she could have just told me she was voting for Kerry to shut me up and come on the vacation. (Mom Dad, other sis all voting for Kerry, hate bush but I'm the most rabid about it)

I send her emails with articles and details about bush's miserable failures but she just won't budge. My main beef is that she is way more intelligent than someone that supports bush, so I just can't get over it.

[WillyT]

18. She's Scared, And People Do Strange Things When They're Afraid.

Extend some warmth to your sis. Let her know ya love here and her son either way. Maybe she'll see things differently by Nov. 2nd, but don't let this idiot-in-chief mess with your family anymore than he already has.

Peace.

[Minimus]

21. I hope I didn't sound like I berate her (much)

I love my nephew and her, and she knows how much our family supports him and the troops, we just try to let her know the facts about bush.
Maybe she will change her mind (fingers crossed). My nephew is a Navy Seabee (construction battalion) and he is there rebuilding as quick as we destroy it. He feels he is there for a purpose and is proud, and I agree, he should be proud. I just hate that his CiC put us there to begin with. AAARRRGGGHHH!

Thanks!

[Kimber Scott]

17. I don't personally know anybody who voted for Bush in 2000 who will

vote for him this time.

[Jackpine Radical]

19. No, but my brother-in-law know this guy who has a friend that's

thinking of changing to Cobb this time.

[WillyT]

20. LOL... Wha... ???

:evilgrin::wtf::evilgrin:

[Jackpine Radical]

22. Cobb is the official Libertarian candidate.

Not Nadir, in case you're wondering.

[robbedvoter]

23. Green, you mean.

[Jackpine Radical]

24. Duh. Yup. Green.

[WillyT]

26. Kick !!!

[WillyT]

28. More Poll Results, Kick !!!

[Arkana]

31. I know of no one

Either way, the Bay State is what we like to call a "Duh!" state...

[Lugnut]

32. No

In fact one of my nephews voted for * in 2000 and will be voting Kerry/Edwards this time around. One for our side. :evilgrin:

[WillyT]

33. Yeah Baby !!! - That's What I'M Talkin About !!!

Here's to you and your nephew!
