I totally convinced most republicians are completely ignorant of
reality. I just had a co-worker run up to me and say, "they are going to make a verdict on the MJ trial," and I asked, "I bet you've never heard of the Downing Street Memo, have you?" Of course she said, "What's that?" I replied, "nothing, but you go right on ahead and watch the MJ circus." She pressed she wanted to know what it was, I said google it and learn something. Then she went on to say, "so you think we should let Saddam go free?" I replied, "Do you think it was worth 1700 lives and 300,000 Iraqi lives?" She then walked away saying I guess it's all how you think about it. Then she asked me, "where do you think we'd be if we hadn't caught Saddam?" I told her we'd have Osma Bin Laden, the real culprit of 9/11 and 1700 lives back and 300,000 Iraqi lives saved. Then I asked, "do you think Saddam had something to do with 9/11?" She said, "yeah, I think he did," I just laughed and said, "the media sure has done a number on you, try googling Saddam and 9/11 and find the link. I also said, enjoy the MJ trial because I just don't care when other things are more important. The media is so kicking the truth's ass out there.

2. Unfortunately - she doesn't want to hear the truth - needless to say
that she can't 'handle the truth'. I think it's a deep-set part of the human personality not to want to admit that we are wrong.
Wrong in what we think, and wrong in selecting those we follow.

3. Don't forget the $300 billion
Tell her that's her Social Security - was it worth it to HER?

4. Tell her you'll pay her $100 dollars to prove her "thinking"
show her the bill, have someone hold it like a bet, and say if you can't
then all you owe me is $10 bucks

10-1 shot .....

you got easy money coming to you
