My online conversation with a young (budding) GOPer
So I go play backgammon online a bit, and find out my opponent is a 17 y/o male (?) who falls for the whole liberal media bias crap, how bad Al Gore would have been, and how welfare recipients all have new cars. I made him google downing street memo, among other things.

I am gonna work on this kid, I'll be gosh darned if I am gonna let decent people believe the lies and spin. What is your reponse to "all politicians are crooks and lie"? Those po;iticians work for us, darn it

6. and he said his mom gets welfare (or did)
but he keeps saying those people. I did not ask about the racial make up of "those people" he kept talking about. He sounded just like Rush Oxycontin, but he said he thought Rush was an idiot. I plan on arming for bear our next game. LOL

3. Recipients of Corporate Welfare all have new cars...
Edited on Mon May-30-05 11:42 PM by NAO
that is true, very true. They probably have several new cars, country homes, yachts, all on the dole.

Have your young GOPer look into the handouts to corporations. Ask him why it is wrong to bail out a family that is in need but right to bail out a corporation that is in need. Ask him why large corporations insist on having the government manipulate the free market for their benefit.

4. Please educate the people who have access to the
internet. There is so much honest info out there, even conservative websites are doubting what's going on in this country. Spread the word!

7. All politicians are crooks and liars response
Then if that is the case we need to call them on their lies. They work for us not the other way around. In politics as in life if we feel we are being lied to and taken advantage of we must fight back thru any means necessary. We wouldn't take crap in our day to day lives from people we deal with so why do people believe we should crap from our government employees.

10. I'd have to ask him why
he's sitting on his ass playing computer backgammon instead of being out there running and doing push-ups in preparation for boot-camp. After all how better to the support the GOP and their agenda than joining up and putting your own ass on the line rather than just providing lip-service.
