The elections are in 3 weeks!
I have to say I feel your pain & I appreciate your sharing that letter.
My sis-in-law (hubby’s sis) that I love like my own sister lives in Anchorage, AK & absolutely HATES & I do mean HATES, Sarah Palin. She has totally believed the lies about “troopergate” - I tried to explain that the ex brother-in-law felt using a stun gun on a child as discipline was okay. She said Wasilla schools got this & that (can’t remember what) while other needy schools got funds cut. I researched all this & tried to discuss with her, but no go.
Funny thing is, one of her sisters & her husband live in Madison, WI & are the biggest liberals ever - her husband is a criminal defense attorney - are supporting McCain/Palin because they realize what a big 0 presidency will mean in terms of this country’s long term future. Said lawyer even wrote an email to our entire family explaining that while he feels McCain is too “radical” on torture & is too hard on criminals rights, Obama would ruin our country.
Even that was not enough to sway my normally wonderful sister-in-law. Finally I realized if I want to keep her in my life I have to give up the fight to make her see sense. She will either be voting the big O or 3rd party as will her husband & kids. It is so very hard for me to constantly bite my tongue on this when speaking with her. I realize AK will go McCain/Palin but you just like to believe your own family can “see the light”.
