I got another republican over to our side!!! [View All]

[Aunt Anti-bush]

My niece told me over the weekend that she's a republican and she's voting for Bush and NOTHING will change her mind. I asked her why and she said (and I quote) "Well, I know Bush is kind of corrupt and all, but Kerry voted against armor for our military." Her husband is in the National Guard and he shipped out recently to Iraq. His unit was told that if Bush remains in office their time over there is going to be long term, possibly even 3 years or more. If Kerry is elected, they expect to be home about 6 months after he takes office. She said that both of them feel that if he comes home early but Kerry turns his back on the soldiers where their armor and other supplies are concerned, it will be in vain.

I lost it. I told her everything I could to blast the stupid Bush ads out of her head and then I sent her a 27 page e-mail with stone hard facts about the votes and about the fact that those votes were opposed for good reasons, etc. I also educated her about PNAC and other Bush issues that I knew from our talk she had NEVER even heard of. It is sickening that most Americans don't have a clue about who's really in charge, here.

Anyway, here is the response I got today:

hey i started reading that email, and i breifly looked at the PNAC website. I will look into it further when I get the chance. This is b*llshit. Some of the stuff on there is really hard to believe (i believe it now) but i never would have thought that people could be that f*d up in the head. I will finish reading everything on there where i get the chance. I'll probably end up reading a lil here on there. Thanx for you concern and for ALL the info I greatly apprciate it. I had no clue that this administration was this corupt I knew it was a little but I had no clue (i never even thought it was possible) that it was that bad.

She told my mother that she's decided not only to vote for Kerry but she's also spreading the word to a ton of military families because they all felt that Bush was the right choice (because of his mis-leading advertising) and she's going to set them all straight, too! She is a co-chairperson for a large military families group.

WOOO HOOOO!
