Polotics help... NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Question

okay. so my friend is democrat and im republican. were 13 year olds. and she keeps saying that the war is only over oil because bush wants us to keep using his oil. once again, there is no such thing as bush oil! and then she says that mccain is another bush. how is that possible when he ran against bush in 2000? there must have been some differences. she also says that when bill clinton was president everything was perfect. well her mom says that because obviously she wasnt around... anyway her mom says that when clinton was in office, at the end of the week she had money in her pockets and the economy was great.. now its S****y. i somewhat agree, but its not like she doesnt have money in her pockets now. i know she does. if she has money to take her daughter on shopping sprees, than she has money in her pockets.than she says that the war in iraq is pointless and we shouldnt even be there. she says the war is over oil when i say its over nine/eleven and how they were giving us bomb threats... im pissed at her and need some advice on what to say....

and PLEASE dont say that im too young to be talking about polotics, thats just a waste of your time..

thanks in advance! NO LIBERAL COMMENTS OVER HOW SHES RIGHT AND IM WRONG!

Answer 1

she is right!

you are wrong!

& where the heck do you get off censoring comments?

What are you?

Despot  comes to mind

Answer 2

first of all china and India compete for the same oil, that's what you say first. then you ask her who is in charge of the economy, that would be the democrats, the war does effect the economy somewhat, but tell her that Clinton wouldn't sign a bill for drilling, if he did we might have are own oil and gas prices would be lower,  food prices rise because the oil is needed to transport it, you always have to watch out for this supply and demand, and that's where the drilling in America begins so she cant defend her self now.  then ask her who attacked us. i personally guarantee she  says Iraq.ehhh wrong Al Quada did(NOTE-were the same age)

Answer 3

She sounds very ignorant calling this Bush's war.  Bush owns very little oil and if we were in Iraq for oil our country would have got some for free or for reduced price.  Clinton wasn't anywhere near perfect because he bankrupted social security and let the Rwanda massacres happen without doing anything.  The only reason Bush gets the blame for a bad economy is because we are in war right now.  We went to Iraq to help save thousands of lives from the hands of Saddam Hussein and terrorists.  The war in Iraq is obviously not over 9/11, that's the war in Afghanistan.  Hope this answers your question!

Answer 4

Ask her to prove it. Ask her to give you sources and ask her to come to conclusions based on what these source say. She sounds as if she is speculating everything by picking up bits and pieces from everywhere. Ask her questions like:

What are the traits that McCain has that are similar to Bush?

Has anything changed dramatically between her days when Clinton was President and when Bush was President?

How is the War in Iraq pointless?

I often find that asking people to "cite their sources" (so to speak) will lead them to abandon their initial opinion and come to another, more feasible conclusions about a lot of things.

One last tip. If she criticizes you or gives you stupid answers for these questions, you shouldn't waste your time. If she wants to say something, she has to back it up with facts.

P.S. Don't be critical by demanding you want an answer "NOW." That's pathetic.

Answer 5

LMAO what its like to be young and so naive   well it's good you are starting to take a liken to politics better than what is Briney Spears is doing.  

Answer 6

This is not a matter of who's right and who's wrong. First all, I think that's it very mature of you to take a likening to politics at this age. And its okay to like McCain, or Obama. Right now the country is torn between which political party is fit to run the white house. In my opinion the Republicans have had their chance, and they proved what they can do... High gas, high food prices, people are losing their homes and jobs. So when your friend mom says that she has no money at the end of week, what she means to say is that she is paying more for gas and food than ever before. But you could also tell her to stop those shopping sprees, and she could save some money. I hope this has helped you!!!
