I've been thinking about this...if we're (republicans/conservatives) are all so good at business and marketing...why are we so lousy at ‘selling’ the conservative idea?

I mean really, what the heck is so hard about asking a minority if they value the lives of their children and what the future holds for them? And then showing them the way to get from there to here.

How hard would it be to teach a few of them how to be Donald Trump? How to go bankrupt and then recover from it. There are millions of us that know if we lost everything tomorrow, give us several years we would make it all back ...and then some. How to we market and sell that?

But then ...isn't that what we're trying to teach the nation? You see this is why I thought Romney was the right person at the right time and why 0bama is the wrong leader at this time.

Look how do you reach a population that is willing to give up evryone’s liberty for a cheap free cell phone and a $150.00 EBT card?

EBH - that’s an excellent point. The problem is that you are trying to sell something that people have no experience in doing.

Look at it this way. If you’re a young person - what do you know about bankruptcy? What do you know about making money, about leadership?

We aren’t giving young people the tools they will need for the future. So why else wouldn’t they expect to vote for the party that offers security? I call it learned helplessness.

We do everything in our power to insulate and protect young people, and then we expect them to vote for conservatives? No. What they need is a chance to cut their teeth and gain real self confidence.

The new generation of voters communicates primarily via Twitter.

And you just can’t sell any idea or concept more complex than “Hope n Change” with 140 characters or less.

You are the archetype purveyor of conservative porn. In your fantasy world, ideas seemingly exist in a vacuum without the presence of competing interests.

Let's use your business model for example: you are advocating going head-to-head with a better capitalized organization that enjoys superior engineering, broader distribution, and favorable consumer appeal.

OK, back to reality - what does this have to do with the political economy? Simple - debt merchants have perfected their craft over 5,000 years. There is simply no competitive alternative one can offer that counters the promise of enjoyment today vs self-sacrifice for tomorrow.

If your alternative vision was effective, then why has it never succeeded over this same 5,000 years, except for a completely anomalous period of time spanning around 300 years on the N American continent? (1650-1950).

Gee, do you think it might have something to do with a wide-open empty continent rich in natural resources, that just happened to coincide with the one time in history that the common man possessed equal firepower as the state? Nah, couldn't be that, now could it?

This sucker is going down, it was planned and it is being implemented. The only question is: who is gonna emerge from the rubble? Make no mistake - our adversaries don't need a weatherman to tell them which way the wind blows. They are fully confident they'll be presiding over the new USA.
