I tell them


I actually listen to each candidate and match my voting with the one whose record closest matches the needs of me and my family.


I also tell them then if they consistantly vote for someone who "claims" to be a man of God or someone who says they will stop all abortions...then they are idiots and they just may vote themselves out of their homes, insurance and jobs


that usually shuts them up

6. Well,
I don't have any conservative family members.

When my Democratic mom asked me, I said, "none of them. I'll vote 3rd party or write in a better Democrat."

3. If I had such persons in my family
I would probably say that I'm going to vote for the person who will do the best job of undoing the last eight years of the abortion of a presidency that their submoronic votes and their corrupt Supreme Court saddled us with back in December 2000.
