"You gonna vote for that asshole?" |
|
My semi-repub/apolitical brother after seeing F-911 He still doesn't like the dems..but the movie pushed him over the edge and guaranteed that he will not be voting for Shrub again. He may vote Green or Libertarian, just to protest the neo-cons and their embracers in the democratic party. I think many republicans will become independent voters after seeing F-911.

1. That's a huge accomplishment that he saw the film! |
|
there are so many republicans that I know that I WISH would just go see the movie and decide for themselves, but they won't even see the movie. They just say "it's all lies" without even seeing it for themselves.

is a major, major obstacle - when beliefs don't square with facts. I hate to admit I am wrong as well. Eventually most Germans came to rethink Hitler... there is hope.

Is a great state. I get to see it every day when one of the local repubs come into my offie and start spouting about Kerry or Clinton (both Bill and Hillary).
The latest was over Bill's book and how he has no empathy for Monica's feelings. The look came when I pointed out the repubs had no empathy when they drug her through the mud for two years.
It's truly something to watch.

3. I think we underestimate this.. |
|
My pub dad saw it also and is silent on what he thinks about it...I think he is going through some serious mental conflicts...Being a lifelong Republican...it may take time to undo things in his head, but F-911 got the ball rolling.
I'm willing to bet at least 1/3 of those seeing F-911 now are pubs, simply satisfying their curiosity about it. As time goes by, the number may reach 50%+, since the hardcore lefties will have already seen it.

7. Pay thier way, or volunteer to read some Ann Coulter BS |
|
Tell them they are not allowed to say "it's all lies" in your presence w/o seeing it. Give them money for a matinee and then you will discuss it w them. . . Or read some Ann Coulter BS book in exchange.

11. Libertarian~!~! Brilliant! |
|
Push them in the direction of Harry Browne, or whoever.
Remind them that he doesn't want anyone to pay any taxes, ever, under any circumstances.
That's a wet dream for most republicans, even the ones who claim to hold social issues really near and dear.
Brilliant.
