He's in Arkansas, he's racist and his solution for Iraq a few years ago was to just "nuke the mother fuckers" ... I'm sobbing here ... we've been talking for weeks and I never thought he would see the light ... but OMG he has!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh my freaking hell .... I'm sorry for the spazzy post, but I'm so freaking out here!!!!!

10. Gosh, I wish I knew what tipped it
but I don't know other than he was so excited about Sarah Palin I thought I would give up on him but he's not all that impressed with her anymore

I asked him to just listen to what Obama had to say and not think about what "colour" he is

He watched the infomercial and had to admit he was impressed

he also thinks Joe the plumber is an asshole ... LOL

sibling who takes the time to talk to him.

7. my Evangelica, Republican sister is voting for - OBAMA!
so I sure know how you feel. I cried too after she told me that. She doesn't think Palin is fit to be VP or Pres. Phew, never, ever thought I'd witness that shift!

31. Great stuff, you and the OP! I just found out last night that my...
very Republican friend here in Texas voted for Obama. He said he was doing his part to keep Palin out of the White House and that she's TERRIBLY unqualified and frightening. Even his WIFE was shocked, like she hadn't heard him say it before and didn't know how he voted. Her jaw kind of dropped and she said, "Really??" He was dancing around it at first, "Let's just say I voted to keep someone unqualified out of office." As my other Republican friend said, "Woo, McCain/Palin!" he further explained who he voted for and why. He even mentioned the "quote marks" around women's health. It was SO awesome I can't even explain... :rofl:

And I want to say how much I love your username. I've waited too long to mention it.

Yay. I've been predicting this all along. This is why the polls will widen. Unity, bro's and sisters. UNITY.

29. My mom is voting for Obama after 8 years of being a Bushbot
She told me that I've been right in every dire prediction I've made about the Bush years of hell. The economic disaster was her last straw, and she doesn't like McCain's negative campaign AT ALL. This is big - in 2000 and 2004 she was an "I vote by the Book" voter. Now if I could only convince my wingnut sister, who keeps sending me emails that Obama has enlisted African witch doctors to cast spells to 'confuse' McCain. Like McSame Magoo really needs any assistance being confused . . .
