Seriously.
It just requires work.
The school loves it. The students get pretty shocked by the time they're done with me. Several have come back to thank me for helping them get through it all.
But it requires work and most people, including most people on this site, aren't willing to actually do the work needed. Most people prefer to throw their hands up in the air or complain.
Others of us are out there actually educating people.
I have personally educated a number of flaming liberals on economic issues and watched their eyes go wide.
One thing I've discovered with the libs -- and in this town you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a dozen of them -- its easier to convince them to go Libertarian than to go Conservative. You can't convert them on the social issues, but you can convert them on the fiscal issues.
” Barack Obama’s boast, on the eve of the election of 2008 “We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America” can now be carried out, without fear of ever having to face the voters again. “
Four years of HELL with a drunken coward as Speaker.
Will there be anything left to save?
Would you consider that a success?
No. One can say anything after the fact. Many do. It requires nothing. In sales I have heard many times sleazy salesmen come in to my customer *after* I've done an order and say, gee I could have done it for 25% less. Hell, they could do it for 75% less if they don't actually have to do it.
I don't tend to talk to 60+ year old liberals. These are Gen-X types. They never had the opportunity to vote for Goldwater.
The thing is, it can be done. People can be swayed. But as in sales, one has to ask for the sale and actually deliver. Otherwise the sleazeball gets in.
The point being that most Obama voters are open to an alternative. The messaging has to be correct to reach them, however. If they'd be willing to vote for a Barry Goldwater, then that opens a lot of possibilities.
