Well, at some point in time you have to cultivate enough blocs, agendas and resultant votes to win an election.

Better idea: stick to our guns, convince people we're correct on the issues through articulation and persuasion. You know, what Reagan did.

Political reality changes daily. Our convictions should not.

Sorry it took so long Terpfan to respond to your cordial and smart response - I’ve been traveling on biz.

I agree with you 100%. You and I both know that “Reaganesque” Conservatism is THE most honorable, beneficial and useful political ideology in mankind’s history. It is. Where and when it is implemented ... it succeeds.

It is the most empowering and enlightened force multiplying, empowering political ideology in human history.

I believe it!!! I do! Because of unequivocal results.

But: How do we sell it to a citizenry who care only about “Dancing With the Stars”, “The View” and Fantasy Football?

That’s the political challenge here. How do we reach that huge bloc? I don’t like being where we are right now.
