"We have to sell our message to those who don't vote, or even better, to those who currently vote Democrat."

Have you actually ever tried to convert a Democrat or a liberal? If you think trying to have a discussion with hard-headed Freepers is tough, take on a Democrat. The first requirement for being a Democrat is a suspension of reality. Democrats are fundamentally irrational in the sense that they have to ignore the facts in order to make the emotional decisions and judgments that the facts won't support.

I have spent untold hours and many approaches trying to find the winning argument that will convert Democrats to conservative thinking. My experience suggests that you are not going to have much luck on that score.

I don't intend to ever again live under a government completely controlled by Democrats. We are either going to have defeat them politically, secede and live in separate countries or...Actually it would be better not to discuss the other options, as only the first two are probably acceptable to most Americans at this point in time. When the federal budget begins to become progressively very problematic after 2008 and especially after 2012, who knows how volatile things could become.

LOL Now on that, I agree.

I actually think that by the time people get into their 40s, you pretty much aren't going to get them to change parties unless they are Jim Jeffords.

The way to change prospects is with youth. They vote more and more the older they get. So we just probably have to figure out a way to get 'em young.
