1. I have no patience for people who willingly want to be ignorant
Conservative-leaning undecideds, you may have better luck

They're not educable, but might be trainable. It's like mud-wrestling with a pig. You both get dirty, but the pig likes it.

3. Perhaps a smack up side the head with a 2 X 4 would help.
They do seem to resist all forms of reason.

4. I know it! I've been faced with this on some neutral
discussion boards. Sometimes I just want to throw in the towel and leave.

You can't reason or discuss. All you can do is reach the reasonable people who allowed themselves to be badgered by them, and show you CAN fight back.

10. If you want to post some samples here and a few specifics
about the intended audience, if known, we might can help frame them to get another approach to try.

11. No point.. these are hardcore republican nitwits that
would argue about the sun not being out while we all stood around and baked in it. Perfect Bush voters..dumber than a box of rocks. But thanks anyway.

14. What kind of rocks? Feldspar can be pretty darn smart. Or at
least it smarts when you get hit with a piece of it. :)

13. Don't tell them that. Tell them stay home don't vote. Helps downticket.
Don't tell them coattails. Tell them to protest Bush by staying home and not voting. It helps the rest of the Dem ticket win.
