Who are the oldest members of your family voting for in 2004?

[roguevalley]

My parents, both of 70 and lifelong dems are voting for either Dean
or Clark. They are VERY interested in Clark. My dad is sick of stupid
people and refers to bush as 'the a**hole'. <He's speech impaired due to stroke so cuss words come easier> :)

All the older members of my family HATE bush and my nephew, late of the army and Kosovo HATES bush the most.

RV, who is also interested in 'conversion' stories and admires the older generation a lot of their wisdom.

7. My parents, lifelong Dems

ABB: they would even vote Lieberman if they had to.

3. My mom will be 68 during the 2004 election

and she will vote for the Democratic candidate even if it is LIEberman (which I so hope it is not). Her parents were Roosevelt Dems and she has voted Dem in every election.

My siblings are a different story. They are anti choice so they vote pug even though it is not in their class interest.

4. We have all discussed this

My siblings and spouses; my spouses siblings and spouses will all be ABBs this time despite our past voting choices. We all agree that some of the Dems won't be easy to stomach but dopey has to go. Sadly, one of my daughters (fundie) has been lost to the dark side or it would be unanimous. Our parents are all deceased.

6. Both of my grandmothers...

are in their 90s. They both remember the Great Depression and WWII and wouldn't vote Republican if you held a gun to their heads. Go Nanas!

9. My mom likes Dean

11. hoping my great aunt

who does not like the chimperor, will vote at the ripe age of 92.

[hedda_foil]

12. 2 sets of aunts and uncles in their 80's ...

All voting for Dean. If my mom were still alive she'd be a Deanite too.

13. My father is in his late 70's

and he'll be voting. He's not a lifelong Dem, because he was born and raised in Parma, Italy. But Dad is decidedly a liberal. In fact, all 4 of my brothers and their wives are pretty liberal.

[maxanne]

14. my mother

will vote for Bush. She's a lifelong Republican - who has brain damage caused by 40 years of alcoholism. She won't make the connection that she's poor and screwed because of Bush. She'll do whatever her conservative buddies tell her.

I fear I can't stand to talk to her often enough to dissuade her.
Sorry.

No wisdom to admire in my family RV - unless you choose to admire me! I was supposed to grow up to be like them - and boy did I blow it.

15. Mom will be 87 in November 2004 -

and is a rabid, never-say-die Democrat. My father-in-law will be 83, and plans to vote for "Anybody but Bush".

[bleedingheart]

16. They are all voting for Dean or Kerry in the Primary

but they will all be behind the Dem in the General Election...

Mom is 71, Auntie and Uncle are 68 and 79...

All my elderly friend are voting DEMOCRATIC in 2004!
