I feel your pain, Eliza. My immediate family and I are the only dems in an extended family who can't find enough ways to attack us for supporting a candidate and party with "immoral" and "sinful" views on life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. :P I find it immature and disrespectful to not acknowledge that I am free to have my own opinions and find it necessary to preach and attack my beliefs.

I certainly don't agree with their candiate or party's issues, but I certainly respect their right to an opinion and could never imagine acting the same.

((Eliza)) I totally understand how you feel! As my late grandmother (and one of the other few in the family who was not this way) wisely said, "never discuss religion and politics with your family!"
