Wow--after that last debate, my conservative mom may vote Obama!

She never liked Romney, and now, after seeing his rude, disgusting behavior on Tuesday says she will probably vote against him, to try to keep him from becoming President. This is an 82 year old woman who has voted GOP all of her life! She is a RW Christian and usually votes based on conservative social values, but Romney is creeping her out so much that she can't vote for him. She also is very bothered by his Mormon religion. She says she can see that Obama is a decent man who has a better temperament to be President!

If the person mentioned is an (R), they supported torture, endless war, massive Bush borrowing and deficits, criminality on a scale never seen in the U.S. and the most massive propaganda network ever seen. Not to mention that most (R)s are compulsive liars and the rest suffer from some other kind of mental illnesses.
