Reply #83: Convert, or else! Is that the message?

The 2 Best Men at my wedding last year are Repubs. If I were to engage in political discussions with these 2 guys, our friendship would suffer or end. Why go there? They, like other Americans, have the right to be wrong. I don't agree with their politics, but they're great friends in other ways. We all know not to get into it.

Since I can't convince EVERYBODY the error of their BushBot ways, I choose to not try to convince/convert my pals. It's poor judgement--like talking politics at an airport screening station or to your boss--too much to lose and other things matter.

Pick and choose who you want to put a full court press on. Good friends are hard to come by.
