Because too many people are dumb as fuck
I'd like to preface this with the fact that I'm not a concer troll. And, Obama has said this and we've seen it happen in years past. It ain't over til it's over. There are still idiots weilding ballots. My friend had the follwing exchange today. Take it for what it's worth and then get out there to help Obama and the Dems!

Caution: Read the following at your own risk (anger, disbelief and temporary insanity may occur).

I emailed this to you...but thought you'd want to see it now.

This is exactly why we could lose tomorrow.
I'm so nauseous -- I think I'm going to lose it.

Please vote tomorrow.
Please, please vote.
Please.




<12:30> sworen7: hey
<12:30> BrandisEB: so how are things
<12:30> sworen7: not bad just real busy with school work
<12:30> sworen7: how bout u
<12:34> BrandisEB: yeah i hear ya
<12:34> BrandisEB: gotta drive to pittstown tonight after class so i can vote before work
<12:35> sworen7: oh wow thats dedication lol
<12:36> sworen7: damn
<12:36> BrandisEB: yup
<12:36> BrandisEB: ha
<12:37> sworen7: oh man i hate politics shit
<12:37> sworen7: when u grow up around u wnat nothign to do with it
<12:37> sworen7: thats why i could care less about all the shit going on
<12:37> BrandisEB: yeah but this is huge!
<12:37> BrandisEB: huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge
<12:37> sworen7: i know who is gonna win already
<12:38> sworen7: and he is gonna destroy the country
<12:38> BrandisEB: hahaha i love him, he is amazing and so smart
<12:38> BrandisEB: he'll end artie's tour overseas early
<12:38> BrandisEB: and give you both a huge tax cut
<12:38> sworen7: yea but he is either going to be assasinating or ruin our country
<12:38> BrandisEB: why would he ruin the country?
<12:39> sworen7: i dont think theres anyway he can have anything to do with stoping arties tour
<12:39> BrandisEB: he wants to start pullnig troops out in 9 months.
<12:39> sworen7: the war is still gonna go on no matter who is president
<12:39> BrandisEB: no way, not the iraq war.
<12:40> BrandisEB: he wants to continue to press afghanistan, but he'll get us out of iraq.
<12:40> sworen7: i dont believe it will be stopped in 9 months
<12:41> BrandisEB: it wont be stoped. he wants to start pulling troops out.
<12:41> sworen7: yea but u never know
<12:41> BrandisEB: you never know what? we have to pull out, we're not going to stay there forever. do you want to stay there?
<12:42> sworen7: i just feel there are many people out there in the black community that are going to vote for him because he is black and they want to see a black president and this and that
<12:43> sworen7: no one wants to stay there but i just dont believe it is possible for someone to all of the sudden stop the war
<12:44> sworen7: people who have never voted are gonna vote becuase of it just to see a black man be president
<12:44> BrandisEB: well there are many white people that will NOT vote for him because he is black. the coin is two sided. there are people who will vote for McCain because he is a veteran, and not b/c his politics. there are people who will vote for Obama because they are from Delaware and like Joe Biden. Yes, it's all very sad that people are voting on these characteristics, rather than on policy. but unfortunately that is how small minded people work.
<12:45> BrandisEB: hopefully if you're smart, you've educated yourself on the fundamental principle differences between the two politicians. they are very very very different and envision the country going in different directions. but not all people care, or watched the debates, or pay attention.
<12:46> sworen7: and obama has yet to show officials a real birth certificate and in order to be president u must be a citizen of the us not another country
<12:46> sworen7: truthfully i could care less
<12:46> BrandisEB: that's 100% not true. he was born in Hawaii
<12:47> sworen7: it is a 100% he has only showed a "copy"
<12:47> sworen7: i havent watch a damn thing about the candidates its all completely boring to me
<12:47> BrandisEB: if you're going to say things and have a conversation, please dont say silly things that aren't true. tell me the one fundamental difference between the two healthcare policies and ill credit what you have to say. right now you're saying petty ridiculous things that make you seem as small minded as someone who bases their vote on race.
<12:48> sworen7: seriously i dont care
<12:48> sworen7: i done talkign about it
<12:48> sworen7: u talking to me like im two years old
<12:48> sworen7: i could care less about the whole thing
<12:48> BrandisEB: you're refuting with arguments that should be credited to a two year old
<12:48> sworen7: and what i say did come from an educated person
<12:48> BrandisEB: if you are unknowledgable, just say that. it's fine.
<12:48> BrandisEB: what is the source
<12:49> sworen7: well my knowledge came from my father and grandmother who watched every waking second of everything
<12:49> BrandisEB: what is the source where you read this information on the birth certificate. provide the credible source where you read this, and we can have a discussion
<12:49> BrandisEB: that's not a source.
<12:49> sworen7: seriously ive got better shit to do then fight over gay shit like this
<12:50> BrandisEB: hahah
<12:50> BrandisEB: alright
<12:50> BrandisEB: ill let you go then
<12:51> sworen7: and i do beleive they are sources beccause they watched the conferences and got the info from the conferences
<12:52> BrandisEB: what conferences?
<12:52> sworen7: the debates and that stuff
<12:52> BrandisEB: that's not a source. a person who tells you something is not a source. a source is a documented referenced piece of material that is true.
<12:53> BrandisEB: plus, so many of the things in the debates were untrue accusations. also, OBAMAS BIRTH CERTIFICATE was NEVER discussed in the debates. EVER.
<12:53> BrandisEB: NOT ONCE.
<12:53> sworen7: oh my god
<12:53> sworen7: im done
<12:53> BrandisEB: well done say that. it's not true.
<12:53> BrandisEB: i watched every second of the debates
<12:54> BrandisEB: which according to you, makes me an excellent source
<12:54> sworen7: whatever
<12:55> BrandisEB: haha i'm not trying to be mean, i'm just saying, if you can give me one policy reason why you like one candidate over the other, i will support you 100%
<12:55> sworen7: and i cant believe that u would pretty much say i speak like a two year thats wonderful if u believe that but im sorry im not as smart as u when it comes to dumb shit like this
<12:55> sworen7: ive got things i need to go do
<12:55> sworen7: talk to u later
<12:56> BrandisEB: okay, bye

1. repukes are always happy to discuss politics as long as they can spew lies and RW talking points....
...that have long since been debunked. once you straighten them out with facts and proof, they always want to stop the discussion.

2. That's because the facts don't support them
Once the discussion turns to reality, they turn to name calling and ad hominem attacks. Ugh...
