I’m going to read that in more detail, because you’ve put some good thought into it, and what we’re doing obviously isn’t working.

Without trying to sound like a spinmaster, now is the time for all good conservatives to figure out what to do. Reagan ain’t coming back to save us, and the times are not those when Reagan won. We’ve tried the RINO approach, and I’ll admit I’m among those who truly believe in conservative principles, but get lost in the “electability” argument.

So I think you’re pointing us in the right direction. Thanks.

What we must do is MAKE every single Obama voter OWN the darkness and despair that is coming, and we must make them own it EACH AND EVERY DAY. Since we have lost the opportunity to instill American values in children due to the stranglehold that liberals hold on the school system, the only alternative is to force them to face the ugly results of their now foolish choices and hope that they will learn from the school of hard knocks.

I would make this a persistent and sustained PR campaign, coupled with each of us doing the same at the individual level. Economic collapse that makes 2008-2009 look like a picnic is now inevitable. The fantasy that we can “tax the rich” and avoid any pain for the rest of us, which I think drove much of yesterday’s result, will eventually be exposed for the nonsense that it is. When it is, and when Obama starts taxing everyone else to death, we need to remind the zombies that Obama said he wasn’t going to raise their taxes. It was all going to be easy and painless.

When they end up in personal economic peril as a result, don’t offer to help them. That’s only enabling them. Instead return to a constant drumbeat of “You voted for this. You figure it out.” When things become dire enough, survival instinct might, might cause them to finally grow up and learn how life actually works.

In essence, we should employ the same tactics that the left used against Bush (and amazingly still does): Blame Obama for EVERYTHING. In his case he will actually have earned the blame.

Beat it into their heads 24/7, 365 days a year. Admittedly, without a compliant media it will be tougher for us so we will have to take more personal responsibility, on an individual level, to do it.

We must use the left’s tactics against them because we now have ample evidence that they WORK. At least in the case of what I’m suggesting, we wouldn’t have to sacrifice our principles (”sink to their level”) to do so. We would simply be telling the truth.
