His supporters are long on hype, short on facts. And I've found the best way to overcome their glee is to confront them with facts.
They often throw up John's co-sponsorship and vote for the IWR as a reason to not vote for him. I tell them the IWR had more good than bad in it, and it allowed United Nations inspectors back into Iraq to look for WMDs. Had they been able to do so, they would have discovered none were there, and there would have been no reason for war. I remind them it was Bush who short circuited the process and ordered the inspectors out so he could start a war based on lies.
And then I point out that Barack is on record as stating he isn't sure how he would have voted had he been a Senator at that time, so their very own candidate, after the fact, had doubts as to his vote. And he has voted to fund every bill to continue the war in Iraq, except for one, which his vote was cast late when it wouldn't have made any difference either way. So much for his leadership abilities.
Honestly, the Barack Obama Glee Club is getting tiresome. They are bad winners, bad losers, and they are buying all the tonics and potions straight off Dr. Obama's wagon.
They will all no doubt immediately start growing hair, get rid of that rash, and their candidate will stop making vague promises and start giving us facts as to HOW he's going to bring about real change while taking money from the very people who don't want change.
There's trouble in River City, and most of them don't see it coming.
