Retreat!

No doubt your facts are going to stir
up some rebuttals. Be cool; remember,
no matter what, the facts are on your side.

Here are some common arguments you might hear:

1) Bush may not always be right, but at least he's not
a "flip-flopper" like Kerry!


Didn't we just go over this? First, ask your target to come
up with one solid example of Kerry's waffling. Chances are
they'll mention his vote in Congress for the Iraq war. But wait:
that vote wasn't for war at all - it was to give Bush the authority
to wage war, based on his promise that it was a last resort. Hmm...
Let that sink in, then casually note everything Bush has flip-
flopped on (see previous page).

2) Kerry's a typical tax and spend liberal; I don't want
big government telling me what to do!


It can't be stressed enough that Bush's government is the biggest
anyone has ever seen. Its deficit is a record 1.6 trillion, it's spending
left and right - even Alan Greenspan was motivated to mention social
security
! Add to that all the ways the government can spy on you now
without your permission or knowledge, and this is all starting to sound
a little Orwellian...

3) John Kerry is just a rich white guy - what does
he know about real folk?


What does Bush know about real folk? He went to Yale, he
owned baseball teams and oil rigs, and his Dad was president fer
chrissake! You can't get any more privileged. Ask your target
whether he or she thinks Kerry met any "regular folk" in the army.
And if they care about baseball, ask them whether they would
vote for their favorite team's owner - especially if he traded Sosa.
