Will Politics Come Up as a Topic at the Thanksgiving Table?

[rucky]

Just wondering. I'm having a really small one (4 people) this year... it'll probably come up.

But I wanna hear about your freeper brother in-law...

1. Nooooooo!

My father-in-law and bro-in-law LOVE Dubya because he is such a godly man.

My dad hates him, as do mother and I.

And my hubby doesn't like to talk politics EVER.

I would be sent to eat out on the porch if I tried to stir things up today.

Here's hoping my dad can keep it reigned in as well. *l*

2. No

Because no family dinner this year. Finally!

3. Of course

Its the ten ton elephant in the living room of the planet....

Happily, all of my family, and most of my friends, are anti-Bush. I thank heaven that I do not have some weaselly GOP prick to put up with, and I pity anyone who does.

4. No.

My Dad and brother are staunch conservatives so I don't even bother.

5. Yes! At dinner our very bright, straightforward, staunch Democratic

13 year old, (But very advanced. Straight A+, advanced subjects.)asked who we were going to vote for. And the discussion was off and running!! After dinner I showed her DU and she thought it was cool, but she prefers a Democratic chat room. She likes Clark as do I & my wife. Everybody had a wonderful time. The food was good too.

6. I don't know, I won't be there-

Not since the Thanksgiving of '00...when I called my repuke mom-in-law a "...stupid fucking partisan BITCH!".

I haven't had to speak to a single in-law since that day-
you should try it, it works wonders.

7. Yes. I come from a long line of liberals. No conservatives this year

We didn't invite them. We figured since they are fundamentally opposed to handouts we wouldn't feed them. Politics is getting personal for my family. Especially since I busted my ass on the recall they KNEW I would not share a dinner table with anyone that undermined my efforts.

While all families have issues, I must say...I love my family for backing me up.

8. It did

I met a fellow dem at a pre-feast cocktail hour and my kid and I discussed her Bands Against Bush t-shirt at dinner. Mr. CMD was outnumbered today.
