jpg, I had the same thing with my Mother-in-Law. We'd debate our positions for hours. We'd go at it hot & heavy at times too. I just had to laugh a little bit here as I recalled how she occasionally would greet my arrival armed with some points she wanted to make from our previous debate. My wife (girlfriend at the time) would roll her eyes knowing that the next hour or two would be consumed by our politics. One thing we never let it do was for it to get personal. I don't think we ever ended one of our political discussions mad at each other. We had clearly differing ideologies, but we both shared a common trait - we distrusted most politicians & had contempt for politicians who betrayed our trust, regardless of their party affiliation. As much as I disagreed with her, I respected her. I think she felt the same way - she never would have let me marry her daughter if she didn't <gg>. I miss those days <sigh>.
