(62 posts)and straight talk. It blows me away how many people, if you just sit them down and explain the facts to them about how this all works, end up saying,"Hey, this all makes sense to me. New Democrats and Republicans really do what?, they want what?". The FACTS blow them away.
Way too many people huddled in the basement squeezing their AR-15's, thinking Obama is coming for their stuff personally. It's so absurd. The fact is there are hundreds of thousands of people, especially in my "reddest state in the Midwest", that want to live their lives in a progressive democratic way. They are just so used to and brainwashed by the Republican Hate/Spin Fearmongering machine.
I have successfully converted many many people with sensible brains to remove the wool from their eyes, realizing while that wool was over their eyes they were getting fucked in the wallet, from voting straight line Republican down the ticket. All it took was some straight talk with substantiated facts to back it up. But it only works on wolves, not sheep.
The only problem I run into are all these "social issue" democrats, who vote republican because they think they are the "fiscally responsible party". If I had to hear one more time in 2012 how "Romney is a business man", I was going to explode.
