My repub brother is upset with me
Ok, so my repub brother just found out I reregistered as a Democrat...now he's extremely upset with me. Thing is, he isn't a political person, I'm the family activist. Wow...first time someone I'm close too has looked down on me for being Dem.

1. Funny, my repub brother is planning to vote for Kerry this year.
Maybe your bro isn't paying close enough attention to the papers...

Don't ever let politics come between you.

6. yeah, really
If it's going to really harm your relationship with your brother, then you might try agreeing to disagree. I have one family member I'm very close to. He's politically conservative (but not otherwise an asshole). We love each other very much, and it's really hard when we talk politics because we end up screaming. We have an agreement that, no matter what, we do not discuss politics. It works well for us.
