Or maybe even make them realize we've got a 1%er problem in this country for a moment?
Ask them if Romney was their choice. If your experience is anything like mine, you'll find not a single one that answers in the affirmative. Ask them if anyone they know wanted Romney. Again, they will most likely respond with a "no".
Then mention how strange it is that the Religious Right didn't want Romney, social conservatives didn't want Romney, the Second Amendment crowd didn't want Romney... none of the traditional Republican constituencies wanted Romney. Well, except for the filthy rich guys. Apparently they trump all the others.
I recently had this exchange with an acquaintance of mine, and I think it actually bothered him.

(10,558 posts)Goal to reach across, to show a fellow American that we need to take back our democracy from the rich elite and in order to do so, we must do so together, devoid of party and as Americans out to restore A GOVERNMENT OF, BY AND FOR ......US.
After we do that THEN...then we can get back to the fighting among ourselves knowing that the grand experiment democracy, yet holds the field in America.

If they were fixed, what do they have planned for November?

Money can make a difference and the message of Obama hate will motivate some, and then there is the cheating, voter suppression and places that lack a paper trail.

(37,648 posts)I love to piss off republicans, but it doesn't take much either,just prove them wrong,when you know you have proved them wrong,and the have no logical answers, when they start to either try to divert the topic to something else, or they try to make the conversation about you.

They ALL said, "Well, I'm not really a Republican.
I'm more of a Libertarian or an Independent, and voted for Bush because the Democrats would have wrecked the military."
