Your family: 2009 V/S 2005 elections, any change?

[Shah Massoud]

in the extended family , most voted FPM in 2005 , some voted LF ...will remain the same in 2009....the only 2 persons that were pro-FPM and now critisizes FPM , WILL VOTE AGAIN for FPM...because they say 'achtaf zoum'

[moughtarib]

Belong to Metn:
2 added persons voting for FPM after the MOU. Before were neutral.
1 turned 21 and can vote, will vote FPM

PS: If plane tickets are cheap enough or 'paid for'

[SISCO]

10 FPM in 2005 even if MM was allied with FPM. this time no one will vote except 2 persons who will vote with 14 march. the eight others changed their mind because of the TV-newspaper propaganda (they always see the incidents in beirut as the fault of HA-FPM).

For me, i will choose my candidates in 2009 and waiting to see the programs in addition to the quality of persons and alliance.

ya3ne I don't know how to explain my family to you. my mother's family is FPM lal 3adem because u know my uncles were in the army with GMA! and they all vote in the south Ain el deleb! now my father's family is weird they also vote in the south but Maghdouche we can say same district maghdouche and ain l deleb they don't care about 14 feb or 8 march they only vote for the list of Michel mousa because he's a relative in 2005 they voted for the list of nabih berri and in 2009 also they will be voting for the same list not because they love berri no but because michel mousa is on the list! so u can say both families will vote for the mo3arada at the end, they will vote against only if michel mousa is not running! 2 months ago my brothers got married and 2 votes will be added for the mo3arad next election!

now about me tal3a mkhawle and also FPM lal 3adem! lol!

my greater ( same last name) family is about 40% SF, 30%AOUN,30%sg by 05 votes all in all about 55-65votes depending on who is in or out
now and in 09 80% lalmout AOUN,SF,and the 20% will vote as we want full litsa.bass some of them still like sg but will vote as one extended family. they like him because of his jail time but they hate his wofe and all the rest of his team. and they stopped attacking GMA SF and defending sg. just want to respect his jail term.
sehri and his family ( kaza zgharta) and his brothers and sisters are one way traffic SF and now GMA )
my first cousin is an army officer ( late now) that fought under GMA, and his 5 sisters adores their late brother and all the sisters families and their kids and inlaws must support GMA and since 05 SF is a must too.
most my friends remianed the same, with the leaning nuetrals to mou3arada now committed more,
couple have left sg and now are solid with us.
couple ( 4-5) were bland before, now with hareb ( bass hate sa3doun,kataeb, soft a bit to sg) because of the batrak and church ( they say GMA hates batrak).

the only issue we have is my mom, she keeps giving us problems, ye3ni many times i had to tell her to cool it down in tripoli from abusing sa3doun and saudi in the shops there..
my mom family ( some vote tripoli, beirut111) are mostly baathi iraqi and the rest sa3doun lal mout

BTW, MY MOM IS NOT CHRISTIAN NOR ARMENIAN LOL

In my family, one person voted for FPM but won't this time, I don't think he will vote for 14 feb though. Another has voted for different names, this time will put the list zay ma hiye for FPM. The rest, ba3don metel ma henne, the ones who voted for FPM (the majority) will vote again for FPM, and the rest will vote mixed I guess, in my family I do not have real pro-14 feb.

[Shuyu3i]

My two uncles voted in 05 for the FPM list and will do again in 09. One aunty voted for FPM and she will do again. My dad will vote FM. I am torn!!!! This will be the first time i vote as i will b going back in 3 weeks to lebanon.
