Think I stopped at least one Romney vote today....

but it was strange.

Customer at work was talking to me and a crew menber when he starts on how he can't wait to vote against Obama.


Well we take turns dropping facts on his head for ten minutes, changes nothing. He's dead set on voting out the president.

Finally I look him in the eyes and say.....

How long have you known me?

"Nine years."

Have I ever been anything other then honest?

"Oh, hell no."

You've been on SSI since the accident at work right?

"Yeah."

You. Do. Not. Want. To. Vote. For. Romney.

"Really?"

Really.


"OK"


Hope he listened.

Democrats would win every election if the people on government assistance realized that the Republicans are not on their side. West Virginia is full of confused government dependent Republicans.

They flat out tell them now. And people still vote against their own best interest.

he was more willing to take my word for it over facts that he could have checked on his phone.
