Related: About this forumThis old guy where I work today said he believed he'd vote for the white guy!
..I told him I give him credit at least for being honest. Most people won't be that honest even though they won't vote for Obama because he's black. They make up some crazy reason but not because he's black.

If you think it would do any good, or he's ever visited Hawaii or served in the Pacific, ask him did he like the people he met there?
I know it may not be possible to change his mind, though. So much misinformation out there.

give the money to wall street to gamble and then give him a voucher for health care.
Privatize = profit center

(15,189 posts)5. Yes the white guy
Who wants to get rid of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, birth control, tax the poor, and give tax breaks to millionaires. Oh and he's a LIAR. You might want to ask this guy if he likes being lied too. Ask him if he doesn't mind Rmoney not showing yet the legal tax returns to run for office. Ask him if Obama did what Rmoney did would he mind? And ask him if you agreed with Obama's lies and lack of tax returns, how would he feel about you?
Unless you think he's a lost cause, it can't hurt to ask. Oh and welcome to DU.

And I said I guess you don't like your social security check either, do you? I have to close my mind and my eyes to these people, there is no changing them. We have 20 clients walk in everyday to eat, 1 woman is for Obama..Horray for her, she's a smart woman because she does keep up with everything.
