No, honey, not conservtism - just the messengers. The non-telegenic messengers can't seem to get the ideals out during non-election years, so I don't trust them to get it out during prime time. I'd rather the leftists screeds be shown as lies and prove we are more than the hateful idiots we are constantly being portrayed.
Get people interested, and they'll go in search of more information all by themselves. Spoon feed them and we lose them the first time they are challenged.

Bill Owens? Rick Santorum? They seem to be doing just fine as near as I can tell.

So you believe having conservatives speak will reinforce the notion that we are "hateful idiots"? Only when the most liberal of all Republicans speak can we then demonstrate this is not the case?

In other words, you're willing to make every concession to the liberals - if only they'll like you. I've got some news for you...no matter who we trot out the liberals are not going to like us. All the more reason why we must advance sound principles.

Get people interested, and they'll go in search of more information all by themselves. Spoon feed them and we lose them the first time they are challenged.

Again, in your opinion is conservatism incapable of getting people interested?
