There are certainly some turds out there that aren't worth talking to . But there are many, even people who strongly align with the Tea Party, who can be brought along. The Ryan/Romney team is utterly disingenuous. They are providing no information about their plans. They are talking in circles about everything. And at the end of the day, nobody can be certain what they might do in office. I guarantee you there are many people who are leaning towards Ryan/Romney that already have some serious doubts, and with better information they will vote for Obama.
If your idea of political "activism" is to be a keyboard warrior spending your days on DemocraticUnderground (for Free Republic, for that matter) just agreeing with those you already agree with, you aren't helping very much. Everyone should set a goal of educating 20 Ryan/Romney supporters between now and election day.
And you can't do that my opening the conversation with an insult -- even a mild one.
