If her mother really is a staunch Busj supporter she probably now has more evidence that her daughter is a bleeding heart liberal nut job. Safe bet indeed.

It's important, but it shouldn't drive your family relationships, in most cases. Extreme behavior on either side of the aisle would be cause for concern. When I was growing up, I was as liberal as they come and my parents were not - interesting conversations when I was a teen, but always with respect of both views. As I've gotten older, wiser and more experienced in the ways the world can kick you in the ass, I've found myself becoming more and more like my parents were when I was a teen - conservative with a libertarian leaning.

I personally think it is due to the public persona that President projects. People compare him to Reagan, but he is nothing like Reagan. Reagan may have said something you disagree with, but he also cushioned the blow-ergo Tip O'Neil- others respected and drank with him. Since Bush doesn't drink we get none of that. No personal interaction or humor, just the stridency that comes from waking up every deay feeling as good as you are ever going to feel. He may be that way, but who among the working class gets to see it? It becomes hard to keep focused because it is so easy to root for him to fail. His tone in speeches is "I'm being patient with a fool". Thanks for nothing pal, that never won my respect. Which probably explains why he is such a good campaigner, but so poor at choosing people to advise him. Reagan got that part done A LOT better. The anger is just as strong on the right, you know.
