My dad thinks he can swing my vote
Everyday he comes home from work saying some other "bad plan" or something from Obama.
Today it was, "Well our electricity bill is going to double" and something about coal.
Yesterday was, "Your college funding will be devastated." Not like they really did set aside money for my college...

And apparently, Obama's grandma died last week, and that's why he was there. They just covered it up until now. And apparently it's ALL over the news.
My boyfriend asked if he heard that on talk radio. I asked if he heard it on Fox...lol

1. I feel ya girl...
I get about 10 emails a day from my dad bashing Obama in one form or another.....Have done some serious debunking, but to no avail. Even have set up a bookmark folder with all my links in it to save time.

Anyway, just keep hitting em with the truth....they hate that. LOL

5. Give him a hug and reassure him ...
... that you still love him no matter who you vote for.
