Yep, and the other half like to be begged to vote.

LOL!

Actually, I read a study of the fringe phenomenon, which indicated that the extremes of either side just about cancelled each other out - that is, as same percentage of "pure conservatives" voted for Perot or Buchanan as the percentage of "pure liberals" who voted for Nader or whoever their pure candidate was. So they cancel each other out.

But in the internet age (because even 4-8 years later, we are more internet-age than before), the crucial thing is to avoid setting off a stampede of fragile folks who hear the bellowings of the "true conservatives" and panic.

This is what the Moby Dems were trying to provoke with their careful seeding of conservative sites and radio with supposedly pure conservative opinions that ended up telling people to vote for Kerry.

Yes, you are right that it is good to keep putting our views forward when the opportunity presents itself.

Common sense is an antidote to the Bush bashers of whatever persuasion.

And really, what does it matter if they are Mobys or "oh-so-pure conservatives"? The result is the same.
