applegrove's JournalThere was an election in Ontario in 1995 that neoconservatives won. They made workfare
out to be a jobs program. I had clients come into the social service office I worked in saying..."I voted for the neoconservative, he is going to make sure I get a job". People hear sometimes what they most want in the world and they don't take the rest of the platform into consideration. Within about a month of being elected the neoconservatives cut shelter allowances and created a huge crisis for the unemployed. The very same people who voted for him because they 'heard' he was going to get them a job. To tons of young males out there hearing the Koch brothers are on their side, the side of pot smokers and dealers, will equate to pot being decriminalized. These are low information voters. All the right needs is a small percentage of them to get out there and vote for Republicans on that one very narrow issue.
This is branding. Nobody would believe it if they called it "compassionate conservatism"
They know they have no choice but to run to the middle. To totally imitate Hillary Clinton down the line with their copying and 'replacement' of programs. Shadowing her narrative at every policy position. Trying to make her platform look impotent. Stopping any connection forming between independants and Clinton. Trying to make her look ineffective. Then, if Jeb wins, it will be a bait and switch. I hope Jeb gets trounced in the primaries by the kooks.
Taxpayer money goes to support churches who in turn don't have to teach science. Why would
universities that are not specifically religious have to teach religion or business or anti-enlightenment stuff unless you are studying in that department?
