What Do You Say to Someone who....

[eaprez]

...says they are voting for Bush since we haven't been attacked since 9/11. In their minds that equates to him keeping us safe. In my mind it just means he's been lucky. I'm kind of curious as to how everyone else handles this particular argument.

1. I'm going to vote for Gary Heidnik!

After all, he hasn't killed anyone in over 15 years!

6. Heidnik's execution

really cramped his style.
But he could still beat Ashcroft in an election.

2. I tell them how STUPID of an idea that is.

When they ask why, I say it as you did---we've just been lucky.

3. tell them you have an elephant gun...

and you know it works, because you haven't been attacked by elephants yet!

4. I tell them that President Clinton

went over 7 1/2 years without an attack on the US homeland by foreign terrorists and that the only one that did occur during his presidency happened only 30 days after he took office.

5. Sell a shiny rock to him or her for 20 bucks. Claim that it repels tigers.

You don't see any tigers around, do you?
