"A liberal has core beliefs. How in the world can we change a liberal to a more moderate or even conservative position if they only stick to their core beliefs?"

We can change their core beliefs by repeatedly showing them the errors in their logic. When they make decisions based on feelings point out to them how logic would require them to rethink their positions. You have to be patient with them, because liberals are used to deciding things based on feelings, not logic.

There are errors in conservative logic also. For example, the tax hike by Clinton in the early 90's gave way to expansion in the late 90's. Typical conservative line was that couldn't happen. And you can buy your way out of a deficit. Yet even Rush admitted he was wrong.

Another is if you run a clearly conservative candidate they will always win. I see we have the distinguished gentleman from Illinois Senator Alan Keyes.
