I issued a challenge to my mother-in-law, saying that by using facts alone, I could get her to change her mind on voting for McCain. The first thing she hit me back with was this list of things I think we can all agree came from Fox News. I have already sent her my reply, and I debunked almost everything using just Wikapedia, but I wanted to know what all you librul devils thought, so I am posting them below the fold.
Try to keep it clean with your responses, as I am trying to convert her, not piss her off. Try including links to reputable sites and reporting and keep it based in facts, not an angry rant, as I am going to send the entire thing to her.
P.S.- I think if you mostly debunk the Obama crap, that would work best
- The media has treated her (Palin) harshly and sexiest.
- Who said evolution is an option to be a fact?
- Obama wants change, then why did he pick a Washington insider like Biden? What has Biden done for change?
4. Obama has been dealing with homegrown terrorist and radical churches for years.
5. Name one peice of legislation Obama or Biden has passed for change.
6.South Chicago is not the world with all its problems.
- What does Obama know about foriegn policy, or war?
- Global warming is not even agreed upon by all scientist.
There were some more, but I just read the debate on helping out Obama and we need to stick to the issues, so I choped it down a little.
I am also posting a link from NPR (All Things Considered), and how Palin actually did not return the money for that bridge to nowhere, and how Alaska used it elsewhere. One point I heard the other day was the fact that you get some sort pay back, tax refund, I don't know what the actual term is they use, but the goverment of Alaska pays you a check every year to live there. Why does Alaska tax payers get this sort of break, while the rest of the country has to shoulder their infrastructure cost? I don't know what the payout is, but I am sure it is enough to build a bridge.
Let us see, Alaska has a population of over 700,000, lets say the payout is $100 a year, carry the 1, subtract the 2, thats like $70,000,000!
Listen to the whole broadcast, it is toward the end.
