I just talked to a guy who just made his decision and says I helped
But I am sick, he is voting for shrub because he believes that shrub will expedite a civil war in the US by re-instating the draft.
After I talked to him about the probability that shrub and the draft he said you just helped me. I screwed up on this one.

I am going to go an throw up now!

1. Sheesh, I don't know what to say.
At least you tried, but I have the feeling the guy's a sandwich shy of a picnic.

2. Show him photos
of civil war. Tell him about our Civil War. He can't want something like that. I hope he was pulling your leg. If not, tell him NO ONE wins in a civil war-it simply destroys a nation for a long, long time.

5. No kidding, send him some pictures from Grozny and Beslan

Say, "This is what happens when a former superpower falls apart, violently."

Ask, "Is this what you want to see in your home town? Do you want to see your neighbors weeping over the bodies of their dead children while tanks roll through the streets?"

If he says yes, then bush can fucking have his vote for bloodshed and welcome to it. Tell him you take great pride in casting your vote specifically to negate the effect of his.

4. Anyone who WANTS civil war in the U.S. is already beyond
help. Cut bait and move to a bigger pond.

7. anyone who wants civil war in america is very unlikely to vote for Kerry
this isn't your fault. some people just don't agree with kerry and have very different views.
