It’s simple: we need a better electorate.
Unless we can counteract the media, we will always lose to the uninformed who vote based on myth.
Democrats lie about their actions and intentions and the media covers for them.
The path forward is twofold: infiltrate and transform the media in the long term. Us living in a conservative news bubble does nothing for the real “low information” voter.
In the short term, we need to have the GOP stand down. The people want Obama in charge we need to give them the consequences.
MYou nailed it with the “conservative news bubble.” I, for one, have certainly been guilty of hanging out on FreeRepublic and Twitter with like-minded souls. I have pretty much dumped all of my liberal acquaintances under the theory that anyone dumb enough to support Obama is too stupid to spend any time with. So, there is a lot of preaching to the choir, and we are surprised to learn, time and again, that a majority of the population does not share our viewpoint.
We hear oxymoronic statistics that depict the cognitive dissonance in the air. “54% of the population dislikes Obamacare.” But not enough to vote out Obama and get it repealed. “58% (or some such number) feel like the country is heading in the wrong direction.” Call me crazy, but wouldn’t a different president increase your chances of heading in the right direction? “more people are pro-life than pro-choice, and they oppose same-sex marriage.” Really?
