Good argument for convincing Ron Paul supporters to support Obama? |
|
There seem to be several Paul supporters in Austin, TX. I think the only thing that many people know about him is that he's the "only candidate that is against the war." How would you get these people to switch to Obama?

1. That could be tricky, since that's the only issue they agree on. |
|
Paul is a right-wing libertarian wacko.

4. And they agree for different reasons. |
|
Paul thinks it's illegal. Obama thinks it's dumb.

2. Tell them Obama wants to close the IRS, privatize schools, and shut down most of the government. |

Seriously, you can play the constitution card. That's about the only thing you can agree on.
Paul is anti-war for a different reason than the anti-war crowd. He's against it because there was no decleration of war and he's a "non-interventionalist."
BTW, Paul's people will vote for him that day.

3. With Paul's history on race issues |

I'm not sure that is a fight worth fighting.
