Conservatives Must Not Seek All Low-Information Voters
American Thinker ^ | 12/26/2012 | Lloyd Marcus

Posted on 12/26/2012 7:09:12 AM PST by SeekAndFind

It sticks in my craw that conservatives/Republicans are leaning toward, in essence, becoming immoral, stupid, and un-American to win low information voters. Folks, I cannot do that.

Meet Semi. I have more respect for Semi, a stray cat which my wife befriended, than I do for the low-life parasites who voted for Obama because he promised to give them stuff via funds confiscated from others.

Semi has the good sense to value her freedom. A neighbor caught Semi and got her inoculated and spayed. But for some reason, Semi prefers frequenting our yard.

For years, Mary has fed Semi and tried to move her into our home as her pet. Semi will have none of it. Semi allows Mary to pick her up and even bring her inside our home from time to time. But if Mary closes the door, Semi wants out.

Semi routinely disappears for days. Displaying more character, backbone, and wisdom than many Obama voters, this cat values her independence and freedom.

Meanwhile, bottom-feeding Obama voters gleefully surrendered total control of their lives to government for the promise of free stuff. Had they tuned out TMZ for a moment and done the slightest investigation into ObamaCare, they would have realized that it ain't free! Along with the tremendous monetary cost and government playing God by deciding who lives or dies, it cost voters their greatest birthright -- freedom.

Some low-info voters get their rocks off just thinking about Obama taxing the rich. News flash, idiots: if Obama taxed the rich at 100%, taking every cent of their wealth, it would fuel our economy for less than a month and not affect our debt or economy. Then what?

Wait, what?? The IRS will no longer be sending tax-return checks to people who never paid taxes? When does this start, when we go over the cliff? Bring it on!

Those sorry excuses for human beings will say its “about fairness.” Somehow they missed the fact that taxes should be about revenue, not fairness.

You're right for B.H.0 and his followers, taxation is there to enforce fairness not to raise revenue. Click the link to hear it from Barry's own pie-hole. Even the sycophants at ABC seemed taken aback by his answer to the question in the debate with Hillary. This is a common disease of the left and it's the reason our tax code is such a clusterf*ck.

do you remember when the bush tax cuts were being voted on, and the libs were mad because low income people, and those that did not pay taxes got nothing? Well, they added this here credit, so that lower income people could get a tax return too...

it amounted to more money than was with held by the feds..

that will be gone if we go over the cliff...

In my heart I agree with the anther completely and without reservation.

I feel men who wish to contemn & punish good choices & success of other men, deserve only the failure and misery of their own poor choices.

It is my shard sentiment too that those who choose to attack & providence & success rather than emulate and recreate. Deserve the fate they deserve.

That thieves belong only among other thieves, and to that end I say let us be separate!

They call it a cliff, and we all know that is a joke. We all know exactly what will happen and it aint half bad. Indeed its far preferable to any deal we are likely to get past the likes of skum like Obama and harry Reid.

By all means Do nothing house, you have passed your budges and done your job. GO HOME AND STAY HOME!

Let the Democrats decide what they want, if they want to take the budgets the house has passed they can, if they like us prefer the alliterative to anther budget. Then they can do nothing more.

The ball is in their court where it will sit until they decide to act.

Actually, I have to disagree with you. We either re-educate them, or we defeat them, like Rush says. We don’t want to drag conservatism down for a few votes. It plainly does not work. These people will go for whomever promises them the most. We need to find ways to educate these people, to help them see that there is an end to anything “free” and that working a real job brings a sense of self worth and dignity. I understand how you feel, but we cannot stoop to their behavior to try to get their votes. How many black people complained about Obama’s policies, but he still carried their vote with almost the same amount as before? When it comes down to it, they have been taught to mistrust the republicans. We have to re-educate the people to conservatism and how it brings prosperity to all of America.

Why don’t we go after our own low-info voters, the ones who helped Mitt Romney win the nomination last year.
