I haven’t lost friends over Palin, but my youngest sister refuses to speak to me or even have lunch with me .. because I’m a ... REPUBLICAN! and she’s a stupid liberal.
You shouldn't repeat yourself.
I have three sisters, and all of them are nutty liberals. And they all have a lot more money than me (we all started out extremely lower middle class i.e. poor), two of them having total worth of over a million bucks. And they're all abysmally ignorant of current events, political personalities, and history. But we're still on good terms.
