Michael Moore: Fallacious reasons to vote for Obama
In recent commentary, Michael Moore asks Pennsylvania voters to vote for Obama. The fallacious reasons?
Moore hates the current administration
Michael, the current administration isn’t running, whether or not Obama gets elected. You are offering a false dichotomy.
Hillary is taking cheap shots at Obama
Since when is this a good reason to vote for someone? Maybe Obama deserves your sympathy. But your vote? I thought you opposed the war in Iraq. So why vote for Obama? He too wants to stay in Iraq permanently.
Fahrenheit 9/11 was an entertaining documentary. You took some cheap shots at some politicians, but that’s not a good reason for me to vote for those politicians, is it? in Fahrenheit 9/11 you criticized our occupation of Iraq, and yet, Obama intends to deploy permanent bases.
I do applaud you for seeing through Hillary’s warmongering neoconservative leanings, but the fact that Hillary doesn’t deserve a vote is a very weak argument for voting for Obama. A lot of people look up to you without thinking for themselves. You are asking Pennsylvania to oppose Hillary, a bad choice, for Obama, another nearly equivalent bad choice. If you dislike the Bush administration, and their policies, why mislead the people of Pennsylvania into voting for Obama, who intends to pursue the current agenda?
If you want to persuade people to vote for Obama, at least offer some persuasive reasons. “Hillary sucks” and “the current administration sucks” are not good reasons to vote for Obama.
