My son is turning around
My son is a puke but my email from him today said a lot. He is upset with shrub and the entire puke party. He does not trust these people anymore. He is waking up! My son is not part of the neocons so I am sure their preaching is triggering animosity. Yes, finally he is waking up!

1. That is always so great to hear. I think a lot of moderate reupublicans
are going to turn away in disgust. :hi:

2. There are a lot of people who are in love with "Republican" ideas.
They need to see how dishonest they are. Not that Democrats are perfect or anything. The difference is that we will admit that contradictions are necessary, and try to arrive at some kind of rational approach that synthesizes something out of the opposed elements. I personally resist false dichotomies.

3. So good to hear things like this
and happy for you too. What would it take to make him vote for a Dem? It always strikes me that many Republicans, real Republicans, are not happy with a lot of things in their party and especially with * but they still won't vote for a Dem. Is it that we offer little different, connections with unions, lies that they believe from the right? Just one of the many things I don't understand.

5. He is surrounded by pukes
His girlfriend and family (a large family) are pukes. He was involved with the fire department here who were for shrub. He is not involved with the FD anymore. He needs to get away from some of their garbage. He is upset with the way the pukes are handling the (oh I know I am going to spelling this incorrectly) Shrevio situation, he is upset with SS, he is upset with Health Care, he is attending college, he is upset with the tuition and the availability of loans, He was really upset in his email this morning. He had a lot of anger but he also had an attitude, "this is the way things are and guess I'll have to accept it thinking." My feeling was he was giving up life would get better, but was reaching for some hope. Also upset with SS and the shrub's plan.

He is also extremely upset with the rise of gas prices.

He needs a lot of work!

Hope I am communicating this okay!

6. Thanks for sharing
I'm just trying to figure out what makes people vote the way that they do. Something we need to get to to make any changes. Things are getting harder and harder out there, people seem to be more affected than they were during the first term of the boy king. I hope he comes around more. It's hopeful that people are beginning to see the truth.

4. All of the Limbaughs, Hannitys and Boortzs in the Universe...

Cannot stop people from looking at them and seeing the truth of what they are doing.

That is where they are making their biggest mistake. They think that the echo chamber is all they need to continue to get away with their crap. It isn't.
