10. I get "stop Bush bashing" whenever I say anything

I don't even bring up the subject myself, only answer when the family says something ignorant in his defense.
I always mention the grandkids that will be packaged up and sent off to war in a few years. My brother's ears perked up a little. Since it's far off he doesn't see it as a possibility yet. Next time I'm going to mention the information they're collecting on all the kids in school for the draft.
They still don't mind that they're paying a fortune to fill up their huge cars and truck, that they resisted turning on the heat at Thanksgiving in their new lux house. My mother thinks she's so holy defending the unborn but doesn't flinch when I remind her that lots were killed along with the mothers and everyone else on the block with Bush's bombs. I do expect a small reaction when her social security check is cut. I'm hoping this project gets moving quickly.
Something personal will wake them up someday. It's a nightmare that they let him kill so many and only smarten up when it gets a little closer to home.
On the subject of depression. I'm hoping to emerge from 100% soon.
edit to add--on the stolen election, it would be futile to mention it. The response to the high cost of oil was that Bush doesn't have any control over it. My mother even laughed last night when I mentioned the name of my favorite website (Democratic Underground).
