My oldest brother has been an undercover Republican for years!
My oldest brother has been a Republican for years and he was to ashamed to tell us until last summer when our cousin came to visit from England and the whole family was out to dinner.

My cousin started a conversation with what's wrong with people in the US, how could we have elected Bush. People in England and most of Europe hate his guts. Of course we all agreed with him, except my oldest brother. Who then revealed that he voted for Bush. Boy you should have been there. We all turned on him like a pack of wolves. The whole family almost got kicked out of the restaurant. I called for an instant disownment of my brother from family. But my mother refused (A mother love).

It's been a year and now he's having to bite his tongue when political topics are talked about. I send him every piece of e-mail I can find on the corrupted Bush administration. And when I see him, I bring it up again. I've forgiven my brother now and I know damn well he won't be voting for the chimp again. He will no longer allow Bush to disgrace him.

1. At what point did he change his position?
Was there any particular issue that got him to see the light?

My family stays away from political talk at our gatherings. Probably a wise choice.
