The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I totally get where Knight is coming from.

I just feel that abortion and social security - are indeed sexy. It's a different kind of porn. It's not as good as girl on girl....but *does* get the voters attention and it does sway elections.

All I know is if the effort to boot Biden were rather spent on scaring Granny about her social security, and making sure every suburban woman and her college age daughter know that Mullah Omar will be the only one allowed to perform abortion.....the vote WOULD come out.


A dear friend of mind I had puppy love with in 7th grade who is now my good buddy. She lived in California most of her life, was rather Conservative. Master's education BUT she was into the whole Obama-Kenya thing. Very religious "praise god" for this and that. Excellent nuclear family for her as a kid, and now with her own family.

Anyhow about 8 years ago she moved to Texas. She told me "I'll be away from the California fruits I'm more comfortable here" certainly she thrived professionally, bought nicer home, all that stuff. I just met her in person this year after a decade and all her friends were talking about "looney liberals" and she was pensive. I whispered to her that I could tell her views have changed.

Her words were "I guess I'm more liberal than I thought. They all want guns here and I'm scared for my kids. And the abortion thing, I dont love abortion but I dont want it banned'.

A few nights ago she emailed me how Biden is the only choice and it's due to abortion.

Ok so it's a focus group of one.

I still cite the previous mid-terms where Dems had a higher showing due to Roe.

Sucks. The one time I like the Dem nominee, they are butchering him.
