My Mother-In-Law will be 100 years old next April. She has been a registered republican all her life but is a liberal on some social issues and has probably voted democratic on occasion. She lives in an assisted living facility in Tennessee near her oldest son and she is an Obama-mama.
My mother in law and I talk every Sunday morning. She is very articulate, still can use email and the only thing wrong with her is that her body is slowly getting very tired. She wants to live to be 100 and she wants to live to see Barack Obama President of the United States of America. This morning on the phone she said things are pretty bleak because she just listens to the mainstream news and says they (the other side) are getting ugly and she's afraid. I tried to tell her we are going to make it and then she says to me: "that Palen, she is a BITCH". Consider the source.
If you saw her you would describe her as one of those "blue haired ladies" who still gets her hair "done" at the local beauty shop. She has never been anything but traditional. Yes, she believes in women's rights and equal rights, but I would call her a moderate Republican. But she calls it like she sees it and that is what she told me today Sunday morning, October 12th. before Church.
As the sayings go, From the mouths of "babes" and/or through the eyes of the elderly comes the truth.
