That is not an effective strategy for all you get with insults and inuendo is making them even angrier and them just saying to H*ll with you I for sure am not voting.
What we need to do is to keep presenting the issue in a logical manner and with empathy for their feelings of betrayal and appeal to their higher sense of inner logic.
In a sense its an analogy to "Don't Shoot Your Wounded" for they are in a sense they do feel let down.
Reach out with your hand in friendship and stick to the moral higher ground of compassion understanding and still present your side of the case to win them over.
I too have issues with the Republicans but am still voting all R's (have already done by absentee ballot) and am winning a few dissaffected folk back to our camp with these tactics.
Its in a sense a sales job you don't want to shame them to your way you want to Sell them on your way and give them new logical perspectives to make the next right decision.
Freegards to all....DN
"Those who won't learn from history, are bound to repeat it" or something like that. It's past time that conservatives learn from their protest Perot votes and face where that got all of us; 8 years of Clinton and a launchpad for HILLARY for 2008.
It's time for a reality check for everyone.
This election will have a low turnout, so whoever turns out in larger numbers, wins.
One IMPORTANT aspect gets ignored: the main reason that the Republicans weren't able to enact a more conservative agenda was because of vicious constant obstruction by the Dems. We need more Republicans, not more Democrats, if we want more conservative agenda implemented. Those who don't actively vote Republican are rewarding the Dems for their obstruction of the Republican agenda.
