Dear Worried About My Reputation,
First off, let me congratulate you on getting where you are at in life. Your life will be a shining example of hard work and dedication for everyone to follow. With the current government enabling programs and the politically correct culture, you should be able to go far in life.
Anyway, back to your question, “Should I tell her about my third cousin who supports John Kerry…” This is an important question that more and more families unfortunately have to face. First off, just like everything in life, you have to realize it’s not your cousin’s fault. Left wing media is brainwashing the public to accept John Kerry, even though none of them have really shown why America is better off with him instead of Bush.
My advices to you is first get your cousin to turn off CNN and put down the NY Times and have an honest discussion about why he/she supports John Kerry. Most likely, he/she will call you a rich warmonger bigot… let that pass. Expect to be attacked and not be able to get a single word in. When he/she faints from lack of oxygen, turn on Fox News so they can subconsciously hear the fair and balanced media.
Secondly, if the above does not work, find out what your fiancé’s beliefs are, and although painful, listen to John Kerry’s speeches. Find the day when his views are completely opposite as your fiancé’s and tell her about your cousin’s support the day after… because by then John Kerry will have flipped flopped to her side. This way you lesson the blow of this tragic news.
Hope this helps…
Abby
