Reply #70: "Bush's war was a mistake"...what about the rest? [View All]

If he's also talking about gas prices, economy, jobs, education, environment, healthcare costs, etc.... Instead of I told you so, can you say to him "Will you help me then? Let's get him out!" and make him an ally?

I feel for you Mo. Rifts in my family too. My parents have always been GOP Loyalists (Mom not so much, but follows Dad as a good wife should). I've always been the blacksheep rebel of the family that does everything correct (didn't have to get married, haven't been divorced, first to graduate high school without flunking and having to repeat, first to graduate college, etc.), but I still have "head bone problems" because I disagree on so many levels with them politically.

My Dad did several in-your-face! take this! emails during the run-up to the November election. Repeated requests to stop and take me off didn't work...only a reply-all telling him to stop it and then blocking him from sending any further did the trick. So, when he shows up at my door last month on a whim...well, I was busy and wasn't going to change my plans for my daughter's birthday.

But, if he called me today and said "I was wrong about some things", I'd listen and then ask if he'd help me get rid of him.
