We're trying to bring more folks to the table, and trotting out the base isn't going to do it. It will confirm the stereotype the liberals and the press have of Republicans. Why should we help them?

So, in your opinion, conservatism lacks the ability to "bring folks to the table"?

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.

As it says in the good book, a person must sometimes be nurtured with milk and fruit before they are strong enough for meat.

In today's highly charged world, it would seem a good strategy to attract viewers or voters who have an interest in Republican conservatism but a reluctant to jump in with all four feet.

Besides, I am sure there will be speakers in non prime time and elsewhere on the radio, TV and newspapers who will demonstrate stronger mainstream conservatism.

NewsMax seems to be making waves needlessly. President Bush has a strong conservative message.

End of Story.
