You have called them far worse, and if it is your goal to simply convince them you are doing an AWEFULLY bad job of it.

Ever hear of "tough love?" I'm tired of blowing sunshine up people's butts.

If you were trying to make them stay home or vote Losertarian or Constipation Party by making them hate the GOP hacks, you couldn't be going about it more effectively. These people are principled, die hard, single issue fighters.

Who proceed to deliberately elect people who oppose their alleged single issue.

Interesting coincidence, that.

They don't like being insulted, and the last thing they want is to be insulted into "selling out" as they think of it.

If they don't like being insulted, they can act in a manner not deserving of same. Using GOP-supplied funds to trash the GOP candidate and elect a shrieking liberal harridan is the highest form of "selling out."

You best learn that you can draw more flies with honey than vinegre

I've already made that mistake. They mistook "being nice" for "being weak."

Did see your post from before, what a doo-sey.

Its not that, its called being an adult and treating people with respect. Certainly anyone you hope to be persuasive with.

Who proceed to deliberately elect people who oppose their alleged single issue. Interesting coincidence, that.

Its actually counterproductive. Ya know a smart fella could point out that contradiction and make inroads, assuming they hadn't been personally attacked and tuned them out.

If they don't like being insulted, they can act in a manner not deserving of same. Using GOP-supplied funds to trash the GOP candidate and elect a shrieking liberal harridan is the highest form of "selling out."

Whoa here guy, you really do have issues. This is a whole lot of personal baggage that you are carrying that is sounding alittle well, nutty. No offense. I don't doubt that there were people who claimed to be conservative who attacked your candidate, however, you are wanting to start a civil war because of what some people did. To insult any detractors to the GOP because of some hurt in your past is unreasonable. You need some perspective on the matter, no wonder you are so filled with hate. Just because some policians wronged you doesn't mean you are within your rights to take it our on the world. As is usually the case with angry people, its counter productive. You don't understand how these people think, they DON'T BACK DOWN FROM FIGHTS AND WOULD RATHER SEE THAT WHICH YOU CARE ABOUT MOST, SEEING SOME MODERATE REPUBLICAN LOSE THAN TO FALL IN LINE TO A JERKOFF WHO INSULTED THEM. If you don't finally figure that out, you are going to be involved in your circular firing squad forever.
