Further demagoguery and lack of reason.

No, that wasn't demogoguery, that was me mocking your stupidity.

To: liberalism=failure
Thank you for having both the insight and the critical thinking to see the essence of this issue.

It is a rare commodity in the liberal camp as I am sure you've noticed.

Your passion is admirable, but maybe us conservatives need to focus on what is most important. First and foremost, that the reigns of power are firmly in our grasp, without which we can achieve nothing.

The vast majority of voters are sheep-people. We all know them. They buy what Oprah tells them to buy. They prefer a life of few, or no, decisions. Thinking itself is a burden.

Changing their opinion is not possible - sheeple simply don't own one.

But you can change the song they bleet.

As a dumb animal when cornered is a formidable opponent, directly accusing sheeple of stupidity may not be the most effective tool of persuasion and can be counterproductive.

As much as I would prefer to teach them too, it seems the only option is to re-program them.

As such, maybe we should concentrate most on offering them a new, catchy, tune.
