It IS possible to disagree and still be friends and care about each other. :)

yes it is. I am trying to limit my interactions in the political forum some because I don't like how I feel when I am in there. I get too caught up and say things in black and white that actually are very grey.

One thing you must understand. My family is extremely conservative. Typical Midwestern mentality. My Dad is conservative. My sister is conservative. Her two children (now grown) are conservative. My brother-in-law is conservative. My aunts, uncles and cousins are conservative. My Mother and I were the two liberals in the family, and Mom is now dead and gone.
My family is also either indifferent or against gay rights. You'd think they would be a little more open minded about it since they have a gay person in their family. But no. Many in my family are adamantly against it. Not just gay marriage, but gay rights in general.
I don't know. I suppose this is one of the reasons I get so up and arms about this sometimes. And I can't bear the thought of this country reversing what little progress has been made over the years.

My family isnt' political at all. They just don't talk about anything. But they are strongly religious (when it suits them and they can beat someone over the head with it) so I do understand being different from the rest of the family. Kinda leaves you feeling lost and drifting...

Wow, I gravitated towards this thread, as I was on your blog, and have to reply <sigh>
I'm actually thinking very positively about this VP choice. You see, imo, McCain has made a grave error, and he will pay for it. He's just alienated so many women, minorities, gun haters, etc.
I think Pallin (sp?) is a great choice! She's so unknown, inexperienced, anti-everything, even to the point of forcing women to go through pregnancies of incest and rape, so anti-science, et cetera, she's going to turn off many, many people. Just because she's a woman doesn't mean all of us women will vote for this "beauty queen"! ACK.
Btw, I have to also add, I'm from a farm/ranch family, and we do hunt, but for use of meat, and I have very strong ideas about what kinds of guns should be allowed in this country.
