My Brother looks for ways to justify his always voting republican. Just last week he was telling me how Obama has raised the debt more than any other president... So I showed him a graph with information from the Treasury Dept. showing that in fact the republicans from reagan on have raised the debt much more than the Dems....

Now he keeps throwing me the fact that it was Clinton that signed NAFTA and if he hadn't we wouldn't be in the mess we are in now. I explained to him .. he was right Clinton did sign the bill...and of all the things that Clinton did while in office .. that is the worst piece of legislation ever passed in my lifetime. All I can say is that it was a republican bill that he agreed to sign off on in exchange for other things that he wanted passed at the time.

Does anyone have a better rebuttal to his reasoning? I know it most likely is a lost cause with him ... but I would love to have a SIMPLE argument to throw back at him and shut him up once and for all about Clinton.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts on this.

Peace
