I've jettisoned all of my liberal "friends." Now, I'm working on getting rid of my liberal "relatives." Life is too short to have to explain to someone (who wouldn't listen anyway) why George W. Bush would be a better choice for President than John Francois Kerry. I stopped the back and forth e-mails and the face-to-face discussions. Total waste of time. If I want to raise my blood pressure, I'd rather eat and drink what I'm not supposed to eat and drink. (Trust me on this. I'm being a little tongue-in-cheek, but my life has improved immeasurably since I removed liberals from my life.)
I don't even do business with dims if I find out they are dims.

Depending on what you mean by that, it might just be illegal...
"I stopped the back and forth e-mails and the face-to-face discussions. Total waste of time."
My brother and I just came to the same conclusion. It is only worth debating for sport, not to convert liberals. That said, you might be able to leave seeds in the minds of the uncommitted.
I understand. You know, it's funny, until George Bush got elected - I had many friends of the liberal persuasion - we all got along great. We respected each other's opinions.
Since then, I've stopped having anything to do with a lot of them. They've changed. I don't enjoy their company anymore because they always have to try to "yank my chain".
I think Al Gore's meltdown & refusing to concede the race poisoned their minds. They are bitter, irrational people now & most of them - I wish would just go away & die (mostly kidding about the "die" part.....mostly).
