In my family we did tough love to my aunt and a couple cousins by quitting including them in our fun. They have come around over time due to us ignoring them.....
About the only person I was ever able to “convert” was my aunt/godmother. Around the time so-called health care reform was about to become law, she was going on and on raving about how great this “reform” was going to be. Well, I started telling her all the downsides, including, but not limited to, the fact that health care is not going to be “free” (a popular misconception that still persists today) and that in fact we are all going to be paying through the nose for health care that may or may not actually be available to us. Some bureaucrat or a panel of bureaucrats is going to decide whether we can get health care and most likely, if you are chronically or terminally ill, elderly or otherwise helpless, your health care dollars will be taken away from you and given toward health care for illegals, slackers, unions, friends and family of Obama, etc.
Now my aunt does not know how to research on the internet, but to her credit, she did go to the local library and with the help of a librarian managed to pull up the real “skinny” on this so-called health care reform. She called me about two or three weeks later after she had had an opportunity to digest all the information and she said I was right. From then on, she has looked at everything about Obama with a jaundiced eye. Like most of my family, friends and neighbors, she always voted Democrat. But now she’s just not too sure.
