Who here has engaged someone in political discussion

[kick-ass-bob]

only to find out they are not going to vote?

He said he saw no difference in the 2 anyways...
:wtf:

1. Fine...he's probably vote wrong anyway...

[Richardo]

2. Are you kidding? I'm talking people OUT of voting...

...If they say they can't vote for Bush but don't like/know Kerry, I ask them to just skip the presidential line on the ballot. I've gotten some pretty positive responses from that tack.

(Here in Texas, that's about as much as you can hope for sometimes.)

4. Well, he says Bush is a war criminal, so I wouldn't think that

he'd be voting for him...

3. Those who claim they are not going to vote-

Are more liable to vote for Bush anyway, in my experience. My wife's Grandmother is 93 years old and a staunch Catholic; she's sitting out an election for the first time. :cry:

5. IF you think he may vote the right way.......

You have to ASK questions. Find out what issues are important to him. I spoke to a 40 year old female whom said the same thing. I found out that ROE was very important to her since she had 2 pre-teen daughters. She understood if we lost SCOTUS,ROE would be gone!

What other issues?

6. I did, got the same response,

and began asking questions:

1. Do you support a Woman's Right to choose?

2. Do you know anyone between 18 and 26?

3. Do you want your children and grandchildren to have the same types of opportunity that you have had?

4. Do you want them to have to pay off Bush's debt? ...forever?

I have registered half a dozen people through those simple questions. ...and I think they will be voting Democratic.

8. He's apparently too uninterested:

#1: Don't really care.
#2: He is! This may have touched him a little...
#3: didn't ask that one
#4: He thinks we will always be in debt so it doesn't matter.

7. Happened to me TWICE yesterday

But in these cases both of the men agreed that Bush had to go. One is absolutely refusing to vote, but I did make him worried about his two boys getting drafted, and the other I scared enough that he said he "might" vote. He claims he is registered but has never voted. Somehow I doubt he will. :wtf:: indeed.
