Do you plan on talking about Ron Paul during Thanksgiving Dinner?

I'm is Jeju Do, South Korea

My family is in South Carolina. RATS!

I even have to work.

Well I don't have many family members convinced. My mom is. My dad is trying to decide between Huck and Ron. My Aunt and Uncle are Neocons supporting Giuliani. My Grandfather was supporting Giuliani but he seemed to like Ron.

who was a RP supporter, has switched to tax hike Huck.

How is that even possible?

She saw that Mike was doing better in the polls.

She needs more online and straw poll results I guess.
Happy Thanksgiving all!

We always talk about Ron Paul... breakfast, lunch & dinner

I live in NH - we discuss politics all the time. The Presidential race and Iraq came up for quite a while. Everyone at the table is pretty sure Ron will some show in the top two in NH.

Please don't waste time on people like this.........

I love political/philosophical discussions, but I find it easier to debate with strangers or good friends than family members I only see once a year.

I didn't discuss politics. But all the people that were there, I know there was a libertarian-leaning gay friend of mine, a more social conservative friend, a social conservative with a libertarian and third party streak, and a couple of more or less apathetic people who simply aren't democrats.

I didn't, by my friend had an entertaining story about her discussion of politics at the table with a few Obama lovers. I was proud of my libertarian indoctrination onto her. She did well.

We did in a roundabout way. We discussed neoconservatism, foreign policy, Marxism, terrorism, Bush, Reagan, Clinton, Obama, taxes, the fact that I burned the pastry crust, revolution (funniest shit is that my mother wants another revolution! what??), the difference between terrorists and "freedom fighters," family genealogy, my kitchen nazi tendencies, the stolen/leaked environmental data, music, movies, Al Gore, cars, Christmas and inheritance taxes, Kevorkian, and a few other things.

And no drama.

It was fantastic.

Edit: And oh yeah, we talked about pot, though I think I was the only person in the room who'd ever tried it. I did learn that my mother wants to. Which kinda creeps me out and I don't know why.

Nope, we spoke about Climategate. One person thought that Al Gore was the most beautiful and connected (with the universe) people alive today. Apparently this is what her cult she belongs to (A Course in Miracles), believes.

Yet ironically, she doesn't believe in man-made global warming. Work that one out...
