Hearts? possibly

Minds? Were talking liberals right?

"Mitt Romney is running the best campaign anyone could run under the circumstances.

The circumstances are as follows: the media will not report anything he does unless they think it can be used against him."

What an ignorant crock o' you-know-what. If Romney had his sleeves rolled up and was putting his knuckles to Obie's head every day, the press would be slavishly reporting it.

Sure, they'd do their utmost to give it their best liberal spin, but there's no way they'd be able to bury or ignore it. The stings and jabs to Bozo's empty cranium would be too sensational to hide.

If the nominee were someone like Newt, Palin, or Cain, they'd have the Obama camp, the LSM, and the entire leftoid Borg playing defense right now. Mitt just doesn't have it in him to attack the enemy the way he should.

It’s demographics. Whites are being forced into a minority, and non-whites vote for the Democrats. That’s it in a nutshell.
The obvious solution is stop immigration.

If they had “minds” they wouldn’t be 0bama voters.

Go bang your head against a curb somewhere, it’ll probably be more productive.

“Is there a way to win the hearts and minds of ObamaVoters?”

No. Of course not.

There is as much possibility of doing that, as there is of convincing conservatives to vote for the ‘rats, and for what the ‘rats represent.

The two sides hold worldviews so far apart, that short of a few “total self-conversions”, the gap can’t be bridged. It’s not so much that the right has moved “further right” (conservative positions don’t change much), it’s that the left has moved far beyond the boundaries of what even traditional democrats once considered normal.

And the left will keep moving leftwards. What will it look like 20 years from now?

Don't overestimate the power of the media. You'd be surprised how many people either tune it out, laugh at its ineptitude, or aren't even near it in the first place. If you are really interested in dealing with Zero voters one-on-one in a way that might persuade them to change, start by listening. Hear them out on what they believe, why they believe it, and consider their sources.

Words and thoughts are exceedingly powerful. That's why we get so perturbed by the media - inept and outdated as they are. But no words spoken outside of the biblical texts are beyond question. Anyway, you/we will make no progress whatsoever by assuming they will never change.

One of the biggest reasons people vote for Obama is because they believe him to be a proponent of justice in taking from the rich and giving to the poor. As such, they consider themselves instruments in making the weak strong, and vice versa. The only problem with that is use of the sword. By using Obama (or government in general) to execute equalization of wealth, they in fact rob both rich and the poor, because the poor no longer have a source and the rich no longer have the opportunity to share. It makes miserable, greedy people of us all. The sword does not change hearts, and the heart is what liberals know best, i.e. they feel more than think.

Knowing these things to be of great concern to both of us, I suggest taking a step back to assess life as a whole and what it is we put our trust in. Americans trust in the Creator of all things and have endured major fluctuations in both adversity and prosperity. Count it a blessing to live in a time when there is not only huge opportunity for good, but also a view into history that is not static, but unique to your experience. We do live in interesting times. Regardless of outcomes in the political realm, it will all come out in the wash.

That is why the Republican establishment killed Newt, Palin and Cain.

I have a feeling that they want zero to win. They are on the same One World Team. Elections are fixed-—all for show and to pretend like we have a choice.

If you have an aquaintence whom you know to be voting for Obama, try asking them to convince *you* to vote for Obama. Try to do it without having your mind made up in advance. Listen to their arguments, but be armed with facts in reply. Offer those facts cordially.

A conservative ought at least yield the point there is some place for government to provide food and shelter for those who literally have no means to contribute to the GDP. Some people are born with physical maladies or other weaknesses, and sometimes working people do not have all it takes to support them.

A conservative should never yield that killing unborn citizens is a matter of convenience or personal choice.

Between those matters there is much room for debate. But it does not help to assume all Obama voters are totally unreasonable, just as it does not help for them to assume the same of you.

In short, invite them to convince you, but don’t play games. Listen first.

Can't disagree with you, Susie. I've said much the same thing many times here.

The good news is that they haven't bought off all the people. Most of us still believe in the promise of the Framers, and we are bound and determined to restore that promise to our nation.

the only way is to take their stuff to redistribute to others that demand it, and watch them talk about how unfair it is. a few may finally have the light click on, but not many.

almost impossible to turn a taker into a maker when they believe they deserve it and the ones being legally robbed deserve to be legally robbed.

Well, we have a better chance at succeeding if Romney gets in. He has some morality at least, unlike the Satanic leader. We will have to strong-arm him.....force him to appoint Tea Party people, like Allen West, etc.

I hope he will, but Romney's never built a bridge to the Tea Party, and no one is going to have the power to force him to appoint the best people, once he's the boss.

He's going to be president. We'll see how he performs.

My hope is that Romney picks Newt for Secretary of State.
