That is what the liberal media want you to think. That “independents” or “moderates” choose our president so we need to soften our ideology to attract these paragons of careful, studied political thinking.
BS.
I call these voters what they really are: apoliticals. Gd love em, they are the busy people focused on their work, their hobbies, raising kids, or even just focused on their tv shows or pot dispensaries. They don’t pay attention to politics except for the jokes on tv.
Democrats aren’t asked by the media to moderate their views. Heck, they just elected a communist sympathizer as president. But we always are asked to send a RINO to the nomination, which gets us candidate dole or McCain.
Somehow, even though apoliticals exist, when we send real conservatives up, they tend to win.
I dont believe we need to soften anything. Still I will repeat, my concern (among others) is Rick’s broad base appeal. And I do disagree, independants will play a big role in the election. They don’t like Obama. We have to find someone that they will like more, or hate less. Is that Rick Santorum, I still have doubts.
I am an aristicrat. I believe those who do not get informed, should not vote. LOL.
