4. If anyone supports bush they are lost
You can't argue with them it is pointless. Don't get in trouble at work you can't change a bushies mind because they only have the Ideologue micro chip. Hypocrisy does not compute, hypocrisy does not compute!

3. I am lucky that the 4 most political people in my office are
all liberal. But being in a red state there are still too many bush-bots.
The coworker I spoke about is the worst type IMHO. She never votes & she never researches, she just regurgitates the right-wing talking points.

5. Very similar for me
I'm in a very red state, Georgia. I work with mostly Repubs. who don't read, don't watch any TV news except Faux, and who listen to hate-radio. BUT the few other liberals keep me from total meltdown. We email each other during the day. We will occasionally engage the Bushies...and kick butt with facts. Hateradio doesn't arm their listeners very well. Just talk over the heads of the freepers. Mention what you've read. Bring in all the different facets. Ask very pointed questions.
They'll finally mumble something and waddle away.
(by the way, the owners -- Republicans -- love the liberals. They think we're better employees because we can adapt easily to new technology, understand complexity more easily, and work better with clients. We've lost a few conservatives in the past two years because of their rigidity and inability to work with fellow employees or clients.)

6. Don't talk to her.
Don't waste your time with obviously stupid people. There are many others out there that are far more worth your time and worth the discussion.
