In the months after 9-11, I came to realize that my dad (he in his 70s, me in my 40s) was horrified by our gov't's reaction to the event. I had always thought of him as political conversative-- he had argued with me against voting for Dukasis.
In the run-up to the '04 election, he was shocked by how many of his peers (Jewish NYC retirees in FL) would be voting for Bush... he couldn't understand it.
