I was visiting my only relation who strongly supports Bush (quite the Howard Dean sterotype -- gave up his pickup truck for an SUV after having kids, but still a southern male.) He was complaining about how bad the president was, and I was surprised. But then he layed in to how much worse Kerry would have been and the liberal agenda. I pointed out that Kerry wasn't even slightly liberal, he was in fact more conservative than the average Democrat. I said that the Republicans had lied during the election and that Kennedy was obviously actually the most liberal guy in the Senate. My relative said that Kerry was in Kennedy's pocket and had just been a front man.
While people are believing this nonsense, the Democrats still aren't winning. America is just losing.
Is it possible to convince people that they were being lied to for at least 5 years (well, decades) before they noticed, without making them feel so stupid as to get defensive?
