Unfortunately some Americans DO still get their news from the mainstream media. My mother, a lifelong Republican, leaves her tv turned on all day on either CNN or NBC or ABC. In the 2008 election she told me that the Republians were just ‘horrible’ & voted for Obama. I can barely talk to her any more, because she will not listen to any other view. She has the groupthink of R’s being mean, heartless & racist.

The Republicans need to be out there at every possible moment & present the very rational actions they’ve taken. After all, & Barone’s article expresses this, when people get the details without the emotion, they agree with us.

Of course you are correct about conservatives and Republicans aggressively publishing their case as much as humanly possible.

Sadly, there are a group of people that are easy to fool all the time, Lenin's "useful idiots".

Sorry to hear about your mom.
