That was my first thought, too. : )
Girlfriend, is it not YOUR dinner table? Get out there and eat! You do not have to respond to everything an idiot says. If that person has to stay, there's nothing wrong with saying you don't want to discuss politics today.
If you have the authority to kick that person out of the house (are you at your mom's?), then hand 'em their coat and tell 'em good night. Have some egg nog and relax. Last thing anyone needs is a liberal on the holidays.
Radiohead has an opinon & is not afraid to use it. I'd take her advice if ya know whats good for ya!!! LOL (it is good advice tho...)
Thanks! :-) I asked my sister if she was pleased with my restraint and she was happy so mission accomplished. The only problem is that my mother was bragging about my extraordinary reading abilities so now she wants to come back *LOL*
