My mom just said Kerry wants to get rid of Social Security.
*smacks forehead*

I'd like to think that me swaying one repub and one independent cancels that out, but it still sucks. I'm so amazed at how ignorant people are. And her response to me trying to explain that he wasn't "I can't talk to you about politics, you think you know everything." Well, obviously mom, I know more than you.

1. Trust me, you can never be amazed at how ignorant people are.
It's just frustrating because they act like they know every-damn-thing.

4. Exactly!
It's like this other woman in my office just said, it's okay for a Republican to express outragious views but once a Democrat expresses their views, all hell breaks loose and we're the crazy ones!

2. Where the HELL did she get that idea?
That's one of the most ridiculous ones I've heard yet.

I'm . . . I don't know, I just have no ability to comprehend that.

8. If that would've been the case, she'd be grounded for years!
She claimed Clinton was one of the worst presidents ever.

5. Its just a phase she is going through.
She's rebelling as a normal part of the individuation parents need to go through.
Maybe , eventually she will come around.

Meanwhile, does she think the Chimp has any respect for Social Security ?
Look what happened to our budget surplus !

Where did she GET this idea ?

12. Haven't heard this rumor, but
it is most likely based in Anti-Catholicism and fear of a Catholic President. People who say these things obviously have not listened to the man speak for himself.

10. Did You Ask Her Where She Got That Information?
Maybe she does need to know that someone lied to her. She might want to know that, even.
