My parents split up over five years ago. They don't talk to each other anymore. These days they only have one thing in common (besides their offspring)... they're both hard-line Republicans. I've only recently begun to regret ever telling either of them that I didn't vote Republican in the last election. Not that either of them lost any kind of affection over me... but both of them have taken to sending me a link every little anti-Obama thing that makes it to their inbox. It's their way of saying "Just you wait... this country will be the worse for it!"
Mom... Dad... Look... if ever I think that my vote was cast in error, I'll be the first person to admit it. And trust me, I didn't just follow hype on Obama. I don't think he's the second coming. I think it's possible that he's in over his head with the economy. But I also firmly believe that the Republican party needs to take a step back and reorganize itself. I mean following up the Bush circus with that particular ticket was... well let's just say I'm not the only registered Republican who jumped ship.
I'm 40 years old... I'm a big boy now. Sheeesh

Oh, I hear you! I was also born and raised Republican and made the mistake of telling my parents that I had jumped ship. After a few years, the conservative spam slowed to a trickle, but it was still enough to raise my blood pressure every time I hit the delete button.
