Re: Parents Effect On Your Outlook
As you worded the poll, they leaned right and I lean right, but that doesn't tell the whole story.
My parents are as conservative as they can be, but they grew up as Southern Democrats, and to my knowledge neither have ever voted for a Republican, regardless of how Liberal the Democratic candidate was. They are blinded by party loyalty and can't see past the D beside the candidate's names.
On the other hand, the older I get, the more conservative I become. I voted for Dukakis (yuck), Clinton twice, and now Bush twice. I am no great fan of Bush, but he was a better choice than Gore (a homeboy, I live in TN) or Kerry. If the Republicans can't find a better candidate than Bush, I guess I will vote Libertarian next time.
