6. People need to take more responsibility for this and not expect the media to spoon-feed us

The Democrats and, yes, even the media, have given us more than enough to work with. Why just watch MSNBC passively waiting for them to tell us more and more and more - and getting kissed off if they don't? We already support impeachment, so whatvare we expecting them to tell us? Do we think the people who don't yet support impeachment are sitting around watching MSNBC and if Andrea Mitchell just talked about impeachment more, they would change their minds and come on board?

Those folks aren't watching MSNBC and certainly aren't likely to suddenly have their minds changed by anything they're reporting. They're at work, talking their kiss to school, going to neighborhood holiday parties and school hockey games. That's where we reach them.

So, instead of complaining that MSNBC isn't trying harder to change their minds, WE need to be working to change their minds. Talk to them, share information, ask the questions, etc. The Democrats have given us more than enough tools, but they can't reach into people's homes. We need to take some responsibility.
