I'm ashamed to say your optimism surpasses mine. My confidence in the American electorate continues to wane. I had a talk this evening with a couple of yellow dog Dims in an effort to enlighten. They absolutely do not want to hear hard evidence against the dark side nor the gospel according to FGS concerning the good guys. They are unashamedly nanny-staters. How does one combat hard core naivete? Frustrating my man.

Don't get me wrong, after electing Slick Willie twice and almost screwing up '00, too, I'm as cynical as the next dude. I just think that as long as we have the right and the willingness to protest the Status Quo, the Good Guys shall eventually triumph!!

I know how to get at folks like that, my FRiend. Concentrate on devolving power from the Federal Leviathan, and back to the States, Localities, and Individuals. Tell 'em our Medicare is all ran by the States anyway, tell 'em we oughtta cut out the Middleman...cut out the Feds. Let's let States decide how to best spend their Medicare Block Grant. I'm serious, even a bunch of Lib'rals I know agree that government is best which is nearest the governed...who needs a Federal Nanny when we can have 50 State Nannies instead?! Thing is, some of those States are gonna be run better than others, and good folks will flee from the poorly-producing ones while converging upon the well-run ones.
LET THE DEBATE BEGIN!!
