During the debate last night, the phone rang. I look up at the TV and I see my grandmother's name flash across the screen (caller ID on TV). I think, "Oh dear." My sister answers the phone, and called me over to talk to grandma. She goes, "Richie - I just wanted to know if you were watching the debate." I said yes, and she said "Ok, that's all I wanted to know. Bye." then hung up. She has been blaming my support for Ron Paul on my Dad, and now she was relieved that I was watching that scripted hit piece they called a debate.

I'm pretty politically thick-skinned (a lot of "friends" give me trouble for my Constitutionalist views), but man this bothers me. Will the neocons ever learn? I know my grandma will all of the sudden be a strict Constitutionalist when Clinton takes office, and then switch back the next time a Republican wins.
