“But ... he never does what he says. These people have to realize that you never pay attention to what he says. “
I was talking to a friend of mine over the weekend. Reasonably bright guy, in the trades, so he tends to side with Democrats. More often then not, he has reasons for his stands. He tends to be logical, even if at times his logic is flawed.
We started talking about Fox news. He told me how Fox was unreliable and totally hard right wing. I told him of things that were reported by Fox that never made the SRM. He grudgingly agreed, but still couldn’t come to admit that Fox is a legitimate news source. Then I pointed to Obama, his lies, and how Fox is seemingly the only news outlet keeping tabs on the lies and broken promises. Again, he grudingly agreed, but it had little impact. He still thinks Obama is ok, and might even be good. He sees nothing good in the GOP, (I’m not sure he’s too far off on that one), and still thinks Fox is the clown network.
This from a moderate Democrat. I know in the past he has voted Republican. He voted for GWB in his first term. He was going to vote McCain until McCain just didn’t carry himself well in the debates, at times looking very old and confused.
It’s going to be a tough battle if this guy is any indication.
