Pops and Moms both are Republicans. We argue about politics all the time. I gave my dad the new Ron Paul book and he's yet to read it.

St. Charles (lived in rural Elgin, but went to school in STC) from '73 to '79. Moved to Orland Park in 1979. Graduated From Tinley Park Andrew in '81.

Grandpa Cat, mine and D1B's father and a wonderful man, was a hardcore Catholic Conk in his last twenty five+ years, but I can remember him being a big separation of church and state guy early on when he told me at about age 12 that he was even uncomfortable with the St. Charles, IL, school district providing bus service for us to St. Pat's school there.
Grandma Cat just voted as he did, Conk all the way, until last year, when she got sick of Conkiness due to Busch and voted for Obama, God bless her soul.

Re: Political Leanings Of Your Parents.....
MY Grandparents were all Dems as far as I know.
My moms dad came of age in the great depression and worked in the CCC camps of the new deal. He was a Democrat for life and cant say that I blame him.
My mom is a dem because that is what she has always been and doesnt really care to change.
My dad had been registered as a democrat his whole life, but lately he does not like what is going on with the part and his views have become much more conservative.
As for me -- I believe a would consider myself a Libertarian at this point. I believe in limited govt. and individual rights.

Dirty Jews.
Having said that, I've met many racists **** from all over the country. Especially from New Jersey, Boston and Upstate New York.

It is so fucking foreign to me how someone can be a Conk. Not smacking anyone, but I just can't picture admiring that line up of evil people like Cheney and Gingroid and Oliver North and Hannity and that blonde, skeleton-looking cunt on TV and Rove and Rummy and Limborg and Reagan.
I wanna take a shower just thinking about all those fucks.

My folks both lean heavily Republican, especially at the State and Federal level. My sister and I have been chipping away at them for years and I finally think they are starting to see the light.

Re: Political Leanings Of Your Parents.....
Cappy, you called me a conk but I've never really considered myself a conk or a republican. I've always been independent and more libertarian than anything. I don't like Cheney, Rummy, Rove or Limbaugh either, I find them arrogant and polarizing. I"ve only listened to Limbaugh once or twice in my life. It's not that I don't care for this country or the people that don't have as much it's that I disagree with people who are more liberal about the government's role and effectiveness in helping people. We need to tune out the Limbaughs on both fringes because they're just fomenting distrust, hatred and closed minds.Cap'n Cat wrote:ASUMountaineer wrote:Pops and Moms both are Republicans.

Re: Political Leanings Of Your Parents.....
My dad is a Republican, he isn't too far right but he'll listen and watch the conservative talk shows. He never seems to get too worked up though. My mom is definitely more independent, but usually votes Republican from what I can tell. My grandparents on her side are probably the definition of independent voters, they always pick whoever they like the most. My Grandpa probably voted for Kerry in 04 and McCain in 08. My grandparents on my dad's side are Democrats, they lived through depression and no doubt have a lot of respect for FDR.
I'm much more moderate than my dad, I do lean right , but I don't vote party line and will never join any political party.
