What would you do? What would John Galt do?
You walk into a small beach bar on the ocean and a guy is sitting there. You have met him at this establishment before so you sit down near him and strike up a conversation. This is the sort of bar where patrons generally talk freely amongst each other. The man was in politics years ago in Kansas and occasionally brings up political topics. You know that his opinions are all over the map and have even moved to the pool table in the sand in order to not listen to him before. You try to steer the conversation away from politics, but he is not deterred. Then he says:
1) He is for raising the minimum wage
What would you do?
2) He states that minimum wage will not affect unemployment and the law of supply and demand has been repealed.
What would you do?
3) Then he says Obamacare is great.
WWYD?
4) After explaining that the only areas were the cost of medical has gone down are those the government stayed out of (e.g., Laser correction surgery), he says we are the only advanced nation without nationalized health care.
WWYD?
5) Then he says kathleen sebelius, who is from Kansas, is a wonderful women.
6) Then he calls you a racist, because you state Obama has the same philosophy Stalin, Moa, Hilter, etc.
7) Then he states we should get rid of the Constitution.
WWYD?

If I couldn't speak to Obama voters, I wouldn't know almost anyone. I don't poll people about voting, but I think I know two people who didn't vote for him both times. My wife and I voted for him and went to his fundraisers. That's very different from thinking he's a panacea.
Politicians get elected through our current two-party system with our current campaign finance system. They're intelligent and ambitious, so they think the exec branch should have more power, so they can do more good. They can't very well condemn the system that put them in power. So we don't get any significant reform. The exec branch keeps getting more power. The gov't keeps slowly getting more intrusive.
I have not met President Obama, although I have friends who have. I suspect he is a good person. Having a good person in office, though, doesn't seem to stop trend toward an intrusive gov't.
Then I strongly believe it's pointless. Move on to someone else. You can just nod your head like a bobble-head toy. If no reasonable people are around, it's a chance to be dick or civil person b/c it doesn't matter either way.
Do you think they know? If they know, then there is the question of whether to tell them you know too. If they don't know, it's impossible to tell them that you know.
