My mother was a life long Republican. She was a school teacher. She

Dad was a W.W.II vet. Captured by the Nazi's in Holland. Spent several
months in a POW camp in Poland, Stalag IIb (a very large, violent, old
camp full of some 15,000 Russians and Poles). Was liberated by the Red
Army in April of 1945. Was reunited with his original unit in Hanover,
Germany, ironically the same town his paternal grandparents had come
from 50 years prior...
They couldn't vote for Truman. They liked Ike. My maternal grandmother
spent many hours volunteering for Ike. They had no use for Kennedy or
Johnson. They mildly supported Nixon and Ford/Dole when they lost to
Carter. They mildly supported Reagan/Bush in 1980. They seemed neutral
in 1984. In 1988 they supported Dukakis mildly. What? What they hell
happened? I'm not exactly sure...Dad died in 1990. In 1992 mom was a
volunteer and activist for Clinton/Gore. In 1996, she stopped
volunteering, due to health issues. She cut a nice check instead. Same
in 2000. In 2004, despite a very frail body, mom is VERY active in
supporting Kerry. Why? The realization that they had spent a lifetime
supporting a corrupt and evil group of elitists who had moved their
party further and further to the right.

Perhaps it's easier than that. She's now collecting on the government
dole, and wants those in power who favor the continuation of those
types of programs. She won't have to worry about increases in income
tax, or the greater burdens that government sponsored healthcare will
place on currently working people.

What an intensely stupid thing to say.

Some people cannot visualize anybody ever doing or believing anything without a
selfish ulterior motive. I won't go in to why that is so often true, but the
answer becomes obvious with only a moment's deliberation.

Palm Beach County.

He'd probably punch the wrong chad anyhow.

So, in your ignorant world, because a person lives in a certain
county, they are more likely to punch the wrong chad? Man, you are
stupid.

No, the people living in that county are stupid.

Are you suggesting that this is not a possible scenario?

I personally KNOW people who changed their stripes when they went from
payer to collector of government services.

Wake up and breath in a dose of reality.

It's called life's lessons. Experience is often the best teacher. Even
if the truth is painful.

The vast majority of old folks receive some sort of government assistance.
You assume granny is wealthy and taking society's money anyway.

I assume nothing. All I know is that I've known people who for years
that while they were working, have complained about the government
taking money from them to pay out to "the needy". Now that they are on
the receiving end of S.S. or other government benefits, they tend to
loose their righteous indignation toward the role of public
assistance.

Considering the nature of human behavior it's not hard to understand
how people change their viewpoints when the shoe is on the other foot.

Are you really that stupid? You can only have one father-in-law
legally in the United States. Bigamy is against the law you know.
