My conversation with a close GOP friend today

[AllentownJake]

My friend, a great guy other than his uniformed political views, today and I caught up after not talking for a month. We used to live in the same city in Indiana and hang out everyday but after I returned to the fatherland of PA we have a conversation about once a month for 2 hours or so

Anyway, he was looking forward to the bombing of Iran. After I pointed out how stupid any war with Iran was strategically (they border two countries we are occupying) and that their army out numbers us in that region 6-1 he actually started to come around a little bit and realized war with Iran right now (couldn't convince him in the long term) was a very very bad idea and that it would be foolish with our current milatary occupying a shiite nation we would lose.

I also explained to him why the Democratic plan for the mortgage industry was good and he ended up supporting it.

I guess that is progress. Maybe by the election he'll vote for Obama.
