I'll try a different tack. I want conservatives to win elections. Not rinos, not liberals, and not extremists. In my opinion, extremists scare the middleground. The middleground are not moderates, they are the middle and they are all over the place within the middle. If the middleground can vote with us, we can win. If we can win, we can affect change. If we can affect change we can restore the courts to a constitutional direction.
Elaborate? Hold these people's feet to the fire, they are local politicos and need to be held accountable. But to use this emotional issue to tar all republicans, Jeb, and the national republicans, is just wrong, and counterproductive to our desire to win elections and to affect change. Did I do any better that time?
Yes you did better 8^)
I guess I wasn't fully ingesting the posts between you and the newly banned sawdust. I'm trying to find those legal briefs and back and forth between several windows.
I got so aggravated with Jim King, not just about Terri, about a year ago I started emailing the local media with quotes and links from other Florida news sources but none of them would print it with the exception of a one liner in a long article about long staff hours for the legislators staff.
After some research I understood a bit of why and the main station in town gave to his last campaign. So I decided that I would do my best to get the word out on my own. I made a site and am trying to get more Floridians involved so that we can share articles from around the state because if King is running his mouth every place but his district maybe others are too and we can help each other hold them accountable. I've printed little business cards with the site address on them and I give them to folks when I'm out. Someone else had the idea for the bumper stickers. Thing is, this is going to take a lot of effort without the media's involvement to spread the word and honestly at times it's discouraging.
Jim King has been around a long time. His campaign contributors are evidence of the foothold he has in politics. I think the best strategy is to discourage him from running because I think others won't want to run against him because of his contributors.
I was going to say something about what you're saying about the middleground being afraid of the extremes but I've lost my train of thought and can't remember what I was going to say! 8^(
