My mother is the same way! This is a college graduate, upper class 70 year old with over 20 years involvement in local politics. Yet her Southern Baptist minister has told her that Obama's a Muslim. She about blew a gasket when I told her I was either going to vote 3rd party or not vote at all because that was a vote for Obama and taken literally from her email "The Lord might be just enough fed up with us that He'll give us Obama!". How do you argue with that mindset??!!
