Thanks for comments, and a couple responses:
First, how do we know what the populace will understand if our guys NEVER actaully tell them? And all during the campaign, Romney and Ryan conceded the point that Obama “inherited” this and that. So yes, the populace is ignorant, and yes, they are willfully so, but NO, we haven’t even tried to reverse it.
Second, all we have to do is flip about 1-2% - to reverse elections. We can never flip 51%, but we don’t have to. I will never buy into the notion that we can’t flip 1-2% - or energize a 3-4% that stayed home, if we ever tried to fight the battle on truth and ideology.
We haven’t tried, since 2010 - and how did that work out?
The debates were frustrating.
I kept waiting for Romney to land a haymaker on that glass jaw, but all Mitt wanted to do was dance, jab and clinch.
Somebody must have told him he was way ahead on points without throwing a punch.
I see your points.
The low-information voter is truly the reason we’re in the situation we’re in. The problem is how do we get to him/her. The establishment media certainly will not help. Frankly, I have no idea as to how to accomplish this but it seems to me that some of our talk show hosts and columnists could help by toning down their messages and actually educate; a constant ranting and raving is quite a turn-off.
