There is another 35 or so percent that is of that red state of mind but chooses to remain silent because of the Liberal hegemony in the MSM, which frames the public debate on most issues in such a way that to oppose the Lib positions is presented as an affront to decency and fairness. They don’t want others to say bad things about them, so they go along. They can easily be persuaded by a coherent conservative argument if someone will make it

I've coined a term for these voters:
The "waving wheat". (A FR/Fishrrman original)

They are the wishy-washy independents and undecideds, unable to make up their own minds, who bend and wave en masse in the direction of the prevailing political winds.

Which direction they lean towards depends on who's making the most "political wind". Obviously the mainstream media has long been the "windmaker", but the internet may be changing that.

I sense that currently, those political winds seem to be blowing in the democrats' direction, but I hope I'm proven wrong or that they shift a little back towards our side. We shall see.

And in the end, wheat is reaped or it rots. Great word picture!

I like it.

How about weeble-wheat?

Weebles wobble but they won’t take a stand.
