I’d much rather take away their vote, myself.

They’ve already been “reached”. They don’t want to be “reached” again. Too busy buying shiny objects, eating loads of fast food and staring at X-box..

zombie voters.

they wander the streets killing and taking, they moan “freebieeeees”, and only vote for the politician who gives them freebies.

Politicians sell ups a “decrease in the increase” as a cut.

An Iranian or North Korean based ICBM might do it.

Sure their is. Open your mouth and tell them what you want them to hear.

Plenty of places like oh...I dunno....THE INTERNET that the MSM can’t completely filter and that most of the LIVs spend all their time on anyway.

But not a one, Palin excepted, does it with any intent or consistency.

I had a part-time job as a Gallup pollster back in the late 1980’s in rural Kansas. About 5% of the people I interviewed DID NOT KNOW WHO THE PRESIDENT WAS! This was in Reagan’s 7th year in office.

Not if they vote according to the color chart.

Rather than calling them Low Information Voters, I prefer Low Information Electors. The acronym—LIE—better explains how they can, and have been reached.

While a certain percent of these “low information” voters are unreachable, e.g. the Obama phone lady, others will take notice when their taxes go up significantly, they can’t see the doctor they want, EPA regulators ban their SUV’s, BBQ grills and wood burning fireplaces and the cost of electricity and gasoline become almost unaffordable. At that point maybe a Ronald Reagan like GOP candidate can convincingly ask are you better off? However no squishy RINO candidate will be able to pull that off.

Low-information voters and craven politicians - a match made in Hades.

Yes. Have them pay taxes too.

Hello fiscal cliff and hello to all wanting to lower the cost of government.

Can low-information voters be reached?

Yes, but only after spending at least four years in the Gulag or collective farm.

my mother is one of them.... she thinks she’s a liberal, except when you question her on individual issues and don’t mention party affiliation or beliefs... she swings right.
Unfortunately she has been ingrained to think she hates republicans, and viscerally can’t stand any of our spokespeople.

That’s the kicker... for the most part I can’t stand our legislative spokespeople either, but I don’t vote on personality.

“American Empires”?

We don’t WANT an American Empire!

We want a Republic!

"Can low-information voters be reached?"

NO!

Most of the democrat votes are from people long dead. I would almost bet money that teddie kennedy voted last November.

Until we start to secure the voting rolls, no real conservative or Christian will ever again get elected.

Yes. Absolutely. The left hasn’t the slightest problem reaching them.

Only if Conservatives can come up with a candidate whom they would regard as “cool” and “hip” (which is why the Dems are on a constant Search And Destroy mission for guys like Marco Rubio)

I was a pretty low information voter at one point (never a liberal, but still low information) because I was clueless on the issues in a lot of instances. I started betting politicized after 9/11 and started getting on the Internet. It really doesn’t take that great an effort to upgrade your information capacity. One will not become a wizard over night, but bit by bit, if you read etc. you will have the knowledge to make better informed decisions. I would consider myself a libertarian conservative.
