To make you all feel better...
Edited on Sun Oct-10-04 06:42 PM by Maccagirl
I visited my mom's senior citizen condo today, like any other Sunday, and I couldn't believe all of the Kerry/Edwards bumper stickers, yard signs, etc. Mom and I were talking and she said that their weekly card game politics was the main subject and EVERYONE hates Bush! These are our Grandpa's and Grandma's and they are PISSED-not just over drug prices, but they are really worried about their grandchildren. Most of these people are not in good health, but they will vote, by God, on November 2nd. Please tell me that this is a hopeful sign. I live in Freeperville, BTW, and these are churchgoing folk and they see John Kerry as a decent, honorable man.

2. My 86 year old mother
is voting Kerry. She knows a BS artist when she sees one, and that's what she thinks of Bush.

6. My dyed in the wool Repub Father in Law and his wife aren't
voting for chimp either. They are late seventies and early eighties in age and have always voted republican all their lives. My F in L said he CAN'T vote Democratic, but he said he won't vote for bush. I said ... good for you!! That is a major move on his part... and I figure its one less vote for pResident bushwipe.

I know that there must be a large number of Seniors that feel this way...
