Reply #2: We don't have to win hearts and minds

If your cousin is a die-hard Republican, that's fine. But if you can feed him a little information from time to time and get him disenchanted with Lil George, all the better. Let him grouse about Democrats all he wants, but let's see if we can't snag his vote in 2004. He'll be much happier grousing about a Democrat in the White House, anyway. While he goes to his good job at a good wage while driving on roads that are kept in good repair and breathing clean air.
