Surprised by family

[Son of Detroit]

I was at my Grandparent's house today with my dad as well as one of my Aunts.

I never talk politics with my dad, and have never mentioned my support for Ron Paul. I knew he's a Republican and voted for Bush in '00 and '04 but never asked for his opinion on 2008.

While we're all in the living room watching TV, the phone starts to ring and my Grandpa answers it. It was some polling company (name eludes me), and they we're polling about the election.

The voiced asked if you would vote for Mike Huckabee if your choices were McCain, Thompson, Giuliani, or Romney.

My Grandpa immediately said no and turned the phone off. He then said he'd only be voting for Ron Paul. My Aunt then said "Yea, he's the only credible one." and my dad also agreed.

I was just sitting there with my jaw on the ground. I never knew I wasn't the only one!

Did you tell them about how much you support RP??

[bbachtung]

Are these folks in Michigan (I ask because of your name)?

[krott5333]

you haven't even expressed your support of RP to your immediate family?

that makes my jaw drop..

but cool story nonetheless

Please make sure you get their info to MI HQ so that they can be reminded to vote!

Go the extra step now, you have a friendly audience!

We have to turnout votes!!!

Be sure to fuck up the voters' database, so we would end up in the 5th spot in Michigan, too.:rolleyes:
