I got into it with a Texan right winger
Edited on Wed Sep-07-11 04:09 AM by vercetti2021
This is what he wrote after i said Prick Error is a crook. Also i'm Texan but this guy is what gives us a bad name.

"lmao...you guys are getting desperate."

I responded saying.

"Desperate? To think this guy could be the president is fucking terrifying."

He responded again.

"yes, extremely desperate. If you're going to throw a charge like that out there, you better present some actual proof."

I responded with this.

"You mean like cutting our fire departments during a drought and wildfires? Cutting school education that our kids need? Calling all the programs that we depend on to keep us alive and off the streets unconstitutional? Yeah he really gives a shit about you and me."


And he doesn't know when to quit, then he responded with this.

"Cutting during the fire? Now you're just making things up. And now you're also claiming he's said education and fire departments are unconstitutional? I know the Obama re-elect campaign is going to be a hard sell based on smears and lies, since he can't run on his actual record, but try at least try a LITTLE harder to not just make things up out of thin air. You should also look up the definition of a "crook."


At this point i'm face palming, so i respond with this one last reply.

"Uh how am i making this up? He said all the programs like SS and medicare, you know the ones you want gone? Saying there unconstitutional even though SS doesn't add one penny to the deficit. Yeah there is video of it.

Also cutting the fire departments 75% and under a severe drought and now a huge wildfire. Yeah seems like a good idea and now hes seeking federal aid, i thought he said big government is evil? Such a hypocrite. And also did i say that he said that education and the fire department is unconstitutional? No you got my words reversed. Now if you still think i'm making stuff outta thin air, then google is your friend."

I swear man. Just what keeps these people watching the magic pumpkin on t.v? I've been at it with this guy for a couple years and no matter what kind of proof i show which is why i didn't give him a big detail of what Perry has done, he denies it. Hes a lost cause.

I don't know if it is the sad state of education in America or not (to me their propaganda is very badly done but I have seen for myself how effective it is) or what but there it is - the fact is, it is very, VERY easy to get Americans to vote against their own self-interests

3. RW texans are circulating those pathetic emails
extolling the virtues of RP, just like they did with Shrub. His record can't stand on its own, so they make up fairy tales about how great their perfect and beloved leader is. Seriously, they've already elevated him to sainthood.

6. I got one of those from an old friend in TX ... I crushed it with facts.
Edited on Wed Sep-07-11 06:53 AM by JoePhilly
I received the email from an old friend, who sent it to me and about 14 of our other old friends. The email tells how great Perry is. And then this old friend added that Obama was trying to destroy the Constitution, turn us into the Soviet Union, and take away our freedom.

I responded to all of our friends pointing out that Perry intends to end SS, and Medicare, take a way collective bargaining for Unions (about half of those old friends are Union folks) and that he loves the constitution so much that he wants to rewrite it in7 different specific ways. I provided the list of ways, focusing on the fact that he wants to change it such that people in a state would no longer get to pick the Senators they send to Washington, which to me sounds like ACTUALLY taking away our freedom. Then threw in some info on his cutting teachers, wanting to have creationism taught as if it was science, so on.

He responded that he didn't know about those things, and he wasn't really sold on Perry, but he hated Obama for the same reasons above. I asked him to explain how Obama is destroying the constitution and turning us into the Soviet Union, and which Freedom's he taken away ... no response.

My other friends are responding to me and thanking me, because after this exchange, he stopped sending us this kind of junk.

7. Don't you see? They are ALL lost causes.
I don't know what else you might have done with the time you have wasted on this jerk, but I'll bet it would have actually accomplished something for someone. "Arguing" with right-wing extremists is futile. You might as well talk to the cat. Or a cockroach.

11. The 'clever' nicknames can really water down a rant, can't they?
"Who the hell is this guy going on about?"

10. This is the product of our corporate media. The "You Suck, We Rule" sportsfan mentality of politics
rather than focusing on solutions and common goals.
It has us at each other's throats arguing over bullshit.
