That is why I have not written back for a week now. Gonna go slow and take it easy on her. I have no delusions that I will convert her.

It's a very difficult subject, and FWIW, my experience is that hardcore liberals use issues to justify their own position, rather than the other way around. If you change something about how they view the issues, it won't matter - they'll just find some other reason to be a liberal.
I'm no psychologist (not even sure if I can spell it), but most of the liberals in my acquaintance simply hate republicans and conservatives (and in my case, independents), no more no less. It wouldn't matter if George Bush started curing diseases, sending manna from Heaven, walking on water, etc., they'd still hate him. I really think the way to liberate liberals is to help them recognize that republicans and conservatives are not the reasons for their problems and are not legitimate targets for their hatred.
