Some examples:
"95% of the households will get a tax cut."
"I did not hear Ayers, Wright, Pflager, Grandma, Farrakhan,.....(put your own names here) say those things."
"I want to expand the war in Afghanistan."
etc.
Slick Willard offered a broad middle-class tax cut, which he later reneged on.
“They “feel” their way to the voting booth. If they don’t “feel” it, they don’t vote. They want to be inspired, feel good. They do NOT respond to factual, logical life relevancy.”
They are trained to feeling through media. Feeling is easy whereas thinking requires effort. Furthermore, feeling seems more genuine of who we are, more individualistic and personal than general abstract thought — which can be so wrong. You can’t go wrong with feeling, it is who we are. The media make their living manipulating feelings; they are good at it — they have to be to sell product, to have hit movies and shows which further sells product.
I hope that exactly 0 people voted obama to teach the RNC a lesson. That would just about be the stupidest thing that a person could do - and something no conservative would, or could, even conceive of.
It would be like cutting the head off your new puppy to teach it not to crap in the house.
“He offered voters an upbeat message, praised the nation as a land of opportunity, promised tax cuts to just about everyone, and overcame doubts about his experience with a strong performance in the presidential debates.”
Upbeat message? Praised America? I must have been watching an entirely different election, as I remember both he and his wife constantly denigrating America - hardly Reaganesque.

I agree and would also hope that NO conservatives voted for Obama. But this morning I heard a caller on Bill Bennett's show say that she believes this happened due to comments made to her by her co-workers. She said that their believe was that if Obama won that by 2012 the country would be ready for a real conservative! Also that McCain was not a conservative. She also wondered how widespread this thinking might have been.
I know too many folks who just have no clue about Obama and are just blinded and so believe in his “hope and change”! I hope our country will be able to recover after his reign!

** This requires that we field candidates and organize campaigns that can speak to this type person. We haven’t.
