“...and convince them the Republicans are only for the “rich”...”
Does the GOP go door to door in your area? One of my major gripes in my area (PA) is that they do not. The local dems do the walkabout, shaking hands, “good-ol’boying” folks, everybody knows them - and THAT’s how they get themselves elected. I’ve brought it up to the local GOP folks... they nod, and give me a blank stare.
So the GOP does it to itself, except in rare occasions when the light bulb goes on, typically 10 minutes before the polls open.
“...I don’t disagree with you, ...”
Yes, I think we’re both on the same page, friend... just trying to figure out the best approach to the issue.
I think it takes person-to-person on our part. You wake up one or two persons, it’s still a victory. There’s no one as motivated as a convert who realizes he or she has been effed over...
And yes, I speak from personal experience after working with them.
No, I won't volunteer to help the “party” ever again.
My party is TEA, I am a conservative, and the Republicans need to clean up their organization.
Fold the tattered big circus tent and stand proudly on the party platform.
Republicans might win over more voters that way.
As it stands now, I assume the R stands for RINO, untill convinced otherwise.
