[stevedeshazer]

Very interesting...proof that protesters can change hearts and minds:

1. Sad that many people are like this. "I like it that he's a family man,

seems like a loyal man." Keeroist.

4. yep

i was talking to a bush leaning undecided friend of mine, sweetest and nicest girl you'll ever met, but comes from a very conservative VERY religious suburban background...tonight i asked her to name 3 very important issues...

abortion
marriage
taxes

i don't blame her though...she's had 20 years of having the right pumped into her head by her dad (who is a wingnut if i have ever met one)

6. "Loyal" to the carlyle group.

7. or steve baldwin: " I vote for the guy who has the most faith"

in reference to his support for Bush. :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

[Cha]

8. "faith" in the demon god power, little stevie?

[stevedeshazer]

11. Careful who you're callin' 'Little Stevie!'

:)

13. Aren't the rest of his brothers liberals?

He must be a born-again or something. Alec and Billy were at the Dem convention!

[Cha]

15. Yes! They are Huge Liberals...and little stevie drank

of the Kool Aid!

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

16. Yes, as far as I know. Steve looks typical for the dude who's done enough

coke and banged enough strippers and is ready for this holy pious routine now.

20. Tucker Carlson called him" the smartest Baldwin brother" today

on Crossfire. Unfuckingbelievable.

2. aww

she's real cute and just seems like an innocent trusting girl who believes what the media or perhaps her parents told her.

these are the kinds of republicans i could never hate, whatever happened to them?

[Cha]

3. It's wonderful to see Epiphanies

like that! Good Job, Will!

5. Wow. I felt a little sorry for her...

...but she was really honest. People are really waking up.

[rocktivity]

18. No need to pity her--that kind of honesty makes her very mature

She had the right seeds planted in her head Sunday. I think she'll find her way.

9. God, that was actually kind of sad. I do feel sorry for

the people who have come to realize that they have been had; that's not a good feeling at all. I only hope this girl and many more can open their eyes and hearts and come to the conclusion that their party - no, not their party - that this administration is wrong not only for America, but for the entire world.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

10. I wonder if she's gotten the phone call from Rove?

"Ixnay on the averway!"

[stevedeshazer]

19. I felt the same way

Instead of getting mad at her, all I could think of when I listened to her newly-formed doubt, is sadness at how she has been deceived along with millions of other Americans.

12. proof that the truth can set you free?

This youngster is in for a world of hurt if she is from whiteous rural America and has to return to it. She got a taste of the truth and if she is lucky will never return.

14. Will just gets better and better at the interviewing thing.

I'm proud that he's one of us. :)

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

17. I liked Will's approach to this girl. Very pleasant, honest, direct.

Nonthreatening.

[gardenista]

21. Great job, Will. She got her eyes opened. It's only a matter of time.

She'll be voting for Kerry. Just watch.

[Norquist Nemesis]

22. A BIG BIG thanks to whoever talked to this girl

before Will interviewed her! And thanks to Will for his interview style!

It's heartwarming to see they haven't all drank the kool-aid!
