Too many folks live conservatively, but are liberal in the head. Case in point, the large Indian/Indian American population in my area, to say nothing of most suburban women these days.
My brother-in-law, who owns a business that employs 200 and who’s specialty makes his operation #3 nationally, lives in a ritzy part of town, owns 3 homes, 6 cars and thinks nothing of handing over cash for his wife who spends money like it’s going out of style...told me yesterday that he’s voting for Obama. He voted twice for Bush.
When I told him he’s the very group of people that Obama would target for income distribution, he blew me off and boasted how the whole neighborhood had Obama signs on their lawns. His neighborhood is one of high-income professionals who nonetheless, are riddled with liberal ideology.
When I asked him why he wouldn’t vote Republican, he started mouthing the “Change” mantra, not looking at the fact that part of the “change” would be coming out of his pockets and sent to D.C.
I saw a 101 year old Jewish woman last week (I’m her nurse)that survived the holocaust and she has pictures all over her apartment of Charlie Rangel and Bill Clinton!
She has support the troops and we stand with Israel stickers all over her apartement door also.
Pictures of Clinton and her greeting Clinton at the airport and kissing him on the cheek 8 years ago more accurately!
