Constructive criticism on how I might of been less confrontational and more convincing are welcome!!

First of all stop calling them "greedy geezers". I speak to seniors age over 70, they have real fears about their benefits, acknowledge their fears. I reassure them that our President will never let them down and they are than very approving of private accts for their grandchildren.

Why get so confrontational with them? But like I said the seniors I speak with are conservatives and have been all their lives and yes they have fears but once they are calmed they admit to loving the reform and wish they had the opportunity of private accts when they were younger.

My grandmother started telling me that she was concerned about her social security today. I asked her how much the republicans have cut her benefits so far and she said "none". Then I pointed out that the democrats have been telling her the same thing for years. She says that the democrats and AARP thow so much information at her she finally just does what they say is safe. Finally I asked her if she trusts Art Linkletter. And she said "Yes he's a good man" So I told her to listen to him. He talks her language real plain and simple and my granny trusts him.


It disgusts me that the democrats can terrorize my very conservative grandmother into overlooking all other issues to vote for them. She doen't agree with them on much of anything but the bludgeon her into submission.
