We need to do better selling the truth to moderate idiots.
Well....the Media isn’t interested in doing anything to help The President....
let’s remind ourselves that you win or lose in politics by a mix of three ways:
1. coercing the mindless masses to vote for your candidate;
2. demoralizing the competition’s base so they stay home;
3. energizing your base so they crawl over broken glass to vote
november 2006 illustrates all three strategies in favor of the left
1. the muddled middle was coerced by curiously undefended media hysteria over corruption and the failing war in iraq
2. our base, ignored and abused by our own suicidal white house which offered to do the left’s bidding for free, stayed home
3. the liberal base, after years of curiously undefended attacks on the white house by the media and pundits, was rabid and pumped to oust bush and company
despite raging intellectual debate by the elite of each party, true conversions are rare and inconsequential in elections
pity anyone (and conservatives are the worst offenders) who actually expects to persuade a voter with logic and reason
we need a candidate that will simply get out the conservative base
it is up to freepers et. al. to look after the other two factors to turn the election:
1. coerce the muddled middle by illustrating that the left is laughable, corrupt and traitorous;
2. demoralize the left base by illustrating that their candidate is a sell-out
