My mom and I never talk politics. She was never interested. Until last night. She informed me last night that, after careful consideration, she was going to vote for Kerry.
I almost cried. I feel like I failed her.
Now my dad is a tree huggin’ liberal, but my mom was always up in the air. I thought there was a chance. I worked so hard. Gently putting the information out there, explaining the views.
But the damn liberal media has a bigger influence than me. My mom spoke of how Bush took us to war just to get rich and how “they” know where Bin Laden is and will bring him out before November. I knew that was Katie Couric, not my mom, talking. I countered her biased argue
I countered her biased arguments, but she wasn’t hearing it. At least not last night. I haven’t given up yet.
