Reply #59: Just tell him

[philpotts99]

...that Obama stands just as strong for constitutional rights and government accountability, against war, secrecy, and arbitrary presidential power--- wait, forget that...

...or maybe that Obama's strong defense of working Americans' health care and education makes up for his expansion of executive power and the national security state-- wait, forget that...

...or maybe that Obama stands up for Social Security, rights to collective bargaining, and Medicare against corporate influence--- wait, forget that...

Just tell them that we're all screwed, and that it's better to be screwed by a hip modern, black Democrat than an old white guy from Texas.

Seriously, it's an embarrassment to all Democrats to have to be schooled on constitutional rights by an Ayn Rand-loving fossil like Ron Paul.
