3. ask him:
does he more money in his pocket right now?

does he want continuous wars and invasions?

does he want President Palin?

does he think McCain really cares about the Middle Class a man with 7 houses and 13 cars??

does he want to see Lieberman and Graham in the next cabinet?

5. lower number of abortions under Dems
Yes, you heard me. Under Democrats, there are fewer abortions--if this guy is "right to life", that's an important thing to know. Under Democrats, we have had balanced budgets rather than deficits. Obama has a plan to make us energy independent AND it will create new jobs that can't be outsourced. Obama will take away tax breaks from corporations that ship jobs overseas, and reward companies that make jobs here.

Hope these are enough reasons to convince him.

6. 2001-2005
Republicans had total power and could've done anything they wanted.

So what did the Republicans accomplish that makes them worth supporting? Why won't they take any responsibility for the last 8 years, even though they were in control? What are they promising now that they couldn't deliver on before?

7. If he believes in open government that trusts the citizenry with information then there is only one
open government lawmaker running - and that is Obama. McCain did NOTHING to help expose the government corruption of IranContra, BCCI and Iraqgate - and those matters being protected from further exposure led directly to the rise of global terror networks, 9-11's attack and this Iraq war.
