I need HELP!! My dad's goint to vote for The Chimp!
Advertisements [?]
Okay, here's the deal: me and my dad like to argue politics, as I'm sure a lot of people here do with their parents/progeny. He's a good man, intelligent, articulate and I love him. However, on November 2nd, he's going to cast his vote for Smirk...again. I'll forgive him his 2000 vote; I don't think anyone knew Chimpy would be as bad as he is. But unfortunately, my dad has been hypnotized by RW propaganda (mostly cable news) and believes that Chimpy is better than Kerry. In fact, my dad thinks that Kerry would be a "weak" president in the vein of Jimmy Carter (my dad hates Carter). In recent talks with him, I've came away with the impression that he was at least considering Kerry/Edwards. He even said that he "liked Edwards a lot". But this was before the debates. Something has changed since. I need to swing his vote in the next 10 days. Please help me locate some articles that would help him think differently about his decision. I've given him "Year Zero" by Naomi Klein, but would like some shorter ones. Extra Special Kudos to someone who can find the UPI article where * said he was no longer concerned about OBL. Many thanks!
