All of our family is voting for Bush and most of our friends. However, I find myself very resentful of the few friends that are voting for Kerry. Especially because they are not liberals. They are supposedly conservative Christians but who would vote for the devil himself if he had a D by his name. I find myself mad and don't even want to speak to them or be their friend. I can't help but think if they are this way, how can we be friends? Presidential elections definitely take it's toll on friendships. Thankfully, I can honestly say I know very few Kerry supporters around here.
Notwithstanding the other remark I made about staying with the horse until it's thirsty, I think sometimes you have to stay with them from afar. Not stop loving them, but loving someone doesn't always mean you have to be close socializing friends. You just refuse to hate them, you do your best to think right thoughts and do right yourself. But I see no point in making believe you have something in common with someone, when you don't. Nothing wrong with being selective in your close friends and associates.
