about where this country is headed is extremely difficult- but with patience and a great deal of "acting" skills, i found the best approach is to go armed with facts.  i start off slowly and little by little whittle away at the erroneous suppositions made by the bush supporters.  

it takes time, but when they are finally turned around (and they CAN be with patience) they make the most ardent democratic supporters!

try starting with the "big lie" - iraq, saddam and 9/11 are connected.  i gently point out the quote from cheney stating "i don't know where people got that idea!" and bush and rice and powell's statements- often glossed over - saying that iraq did not have weapons of mass destruction and saddam was not connected to the 9/11 attack.  they all said it and the quotes are available in both video format and print.

start slowly chipping away at the misconceptions - talk about the little black box during the debates and chuckle conspiratorily about it - make it funny but chip away at the credibility - not too much - just a wee bit at a time - and give her the time to digest that she's been lied to.

make sure you have an answer to any point she brings out - become a walking encyclopedia - by the time you're done - it'll take several months - you can turn her AND her entire family around.

hitting someone in the early stages with fahrenheit 9/11 doesn't work, but prime them slowly, THEN drop off a copy down the road and be prepared to discuss the salient points (some call you the elite, i call you my base... the secret service turning up at the saudi embassy - ask the question: what is OUR secret service doing guarding THEIR embassy?  i thought they were supposed to be protecting OUR president and OUR vice president!... plant the seeds, sew the seeds of discordant thought and wait.  

i know - i've turned quite a few family members and friends around.  it takes time - but they sure make great allies in the end - sorta like the ex-smoker who won't let a cigarette within 500 meters of anyone they care about...

look at this as your ultimate challenge - it is a test.  you can pass it!
