I have the same problem; but at least the dyed in the wool Dem friends in question live at opposite end of the country from me, so e-mail is our only contact these days. We have cut back on the amount of mail and agreed to avoid the entire subject when we DO write.

Both friends do “know” the dangers of Obama and his associates and socialism, etc., but CHOOSE to ignore it. As for me, I am turning myself into a John Galt.............

I've had some 'agree to disagree' understanding with some Dems. However, being liberals, they can never stick to it. They have to throw in some snide comments now and then or always have the last word. I think it comes down to libs think people are stupid (and therefore need handouts, excuses when they don't do well, etc). Therefore, to them I am just uneducated or stubborn and must be persuaded. It couldn't possibly be that I intelligently and rationally looked at the facts and data and came to my own conclusion!
