So I have a dear friend; we don't talk politics but always
check out each other's FB. He has posted disparaging things about Obama and I say nothing. I always post truthful things about the current situation and candidate and he says nothing. Until recently. He is a retired Vet and I was hoping I got through to him...it worked! He posted these on his page, from me. 
SCORE!!!
= new reply since forum marked as read
Haven't 'yet' seen similar results, from fb 'friends,' largely high school classmates (with whom I avoided discussing politics at reunion!) Fingers crossed!
Those who support the GOP anyway, and who would vote for wrongney - who would...
...send them and many of their friends and a lot of younger people back into war. At least one. Maybe two. OR more, considering that he's got the warmongers and PNAC refugees advising him on foreign policy! 
...who would cut their benefits because for God's Sake, we CAN'T ask the multi-millionaires to cough up ANY more!
...who regards them as moochers because they're among the 47% who don't pay income taxes.
...who hasn't served, took the champagne trip to Paris to be a "missionary" while the other young men his age were shipped off to Vietnam. (And whose father never served, nor his grandfather - who moved the whole family out of the country just so he could continue to have the "freedom" to shtup any additional women he wanted).
...who has not one, not two, not three, not four, but FIVE, COUNT 'EM, FIVE sons who are young, healthy, able-bodied, and VERY capable of giving a few years of their youth to the service of their country - and they've ALL refused.
...who has consistently badmouthed, lied about, and condemned the ONE President who, along with his wife, has made veterans' concerns a TOP personal priority of his administration, and whose wife has singlehandedly led a campaign to focus on and help military FAMILIES. Hey, I'm not in the military, and I too never served or seen combat or worn my country's uniform, but even I feel it's a personal slap in the face when I see polls that indicate veterans go for wrongney. WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY THINKING???????????
...who has consistently badmouthed, lied about, and condemned the ONE President who's actually called a halt to a VERY stupid, useless, wasteful, morally wrong, and illegal war in Iraq (while wrongney seems to want to crank that abortion back up again)!
That last two, I just do not get. Those veterans who turn their backs on this President after what he - AND the First Lady - have done for them. They AND THEIR LONG IGNORED AND NEGLECTED FAMILIES finally have a hands-on, activist, and highly committed advocate in the White House and this is how they show their appreciation??????
The best I've gotten from a similar friend is, "I'm not voting at all." Since he's typically a rabid repub, I took that as a win. Would love to post a story like yours concerning him. He's a Log Cabin repub and I just don't get the attraction that party could possibly have for him.
Awesome story! Thanks for sharing.
members who are in the red! My mother and I have decided not to talk politics with them! It hard to make our points when they listen to nuts and liars from the right and won't listen to the facts! 
OUCH!
a FB page, do the same. You don't have to post stuff that will piss people off, there are plenty of things that deal only in facts, with sources and/or links. Keep doing it; it might make a difference. If you need some stuff, contact me; I have A LOT of sources! 
have been unfriended by some in fact
about face!
Ya Got Through, babylonsistah! Your slow Steady Approach Wins Out~ 
You rock, You Rock, YOU ROCK! Love the "Welcome To Planet GOP" graphic, which says it all. I'll be sure to share it around. My FB page is full of pro-peace, pro-choice and pro-Obama information but I haven't had many "conversions." Good for you. Love it!
