A person I think of as loving and kind (we both volunteers at the same humane facility) forwarded me the following Obama right wing attack that is obviously making the rounds in the conservative community... (excerpt and link below the jump).
I am asking for your help in evolving an effective response(s) to this email point by point and/or the "personal responsibility" meme. I want to be able to counter this type of crappola...concisely and effectively.
From previous discussions I know that she has swallowed the "its all about personal responsibility" meme hook line and sinker and she feels that the liberals/Democrats want to take away things that she has earned to give to people who are undeserving/lazy etc, and if this horrible thing were to happen she would no longer be able to contribute the money she does to the humane facility.

And here’s my favorite thought of all: Maybe small-town folks are – really – capable of thinking. All on our own.
You’re wrong about why small-town Americans don’t vote for Democrats.
We don’t vote for Democrats because we’re self-reliant so we don’t like the government trying to "solve" everything for us. And because you tell your rich friends in San Francisco that we’re dumb. And because, each election, whichever one of you is running for president traipses all over the country telling us you have all the answers, that you’re the one on our side, that you understand and respect our way of life.
But each time, a little bit here and there slips out- and by the end of the campaign, we can tell what you really think about us. And we manage to learn who you really are.
And we see you’re just a horse’s a$$.
Please pick a point to counter and help me!
