pocketbook issues. All the social issues were a side issue for me. I am pro-choice but I wouldn't have an abortion for me. I have no right to tell others what to do. On gays I think they should have right everyone else have. Good made them that way. Besides that if they want to marry that doesn't effect my marriage. My parents had 2 children late in life. There is 12 yrs difference in age between my youngest sister and I. Our dad died when she was 11. Momma never remarried. She got all the benefits help her get through her young life. She is very intelligent and went to college and worked very hard to get through her education. I give her all the credit. She is a practicing dentist and she is a republican. It kills me. I always told her never forget your roots. My dad was a military soldier and retired. She came from a family of working lower middle income. Now she is different. So I make sure we never talk politics. Intelligent people also vote for idiots. I am dying to know what she thinks of Romney. I know she will vote for him.
