“Now, the difference is, when they launch assaults, pick your favorite conservative anywhere, elected or in the media, the rest of the conservative establishment usually does not defend that person. They join in the criticism, or they express sorrow and concern and agree that something needs to be done about what that person said.”

Rush must be reading FR. :(

Low information voters will follow power. If the Right does not demonstrate it, they will go with whatever faction does.

It was an interesting bit. I actually heard Rush going into it this afternoon. All I can add is what I’ve undoubtedly expressed several times before on this board... that the GOP’s backstabbing of Palin is one of the primary reasons I just lost all faith and trust in the Party, after being a lifelong supporter and voter. Palin and the tea-party gets treated like trash by the GOP establishment, that means they’re treating me and my views like trash.

It had ballot-box ramifications, speaking for myself.

They don’t have any credibility with me either, Rush.

We need a new conservative infotainment network with a conservative version of Jon Stewart and plenty of hot chicks reading news in bikini’s and amateur mma fights.

“Rush: Conservatives Have No Credibility with the Low-Info Crowd…”

Remember when Rush used to say (paraphrasing), “conservatism wins everywhere it’s tried”?

Guess he had to give up on that one, because the times are a-changin’, and it doesn’t….

""""I can't tell you, throughout my career when fellow conservatives come under assault, I defend 'em. Clarence Thomas, Ollie North, Robert Bork, you name it."""""

Okay Rush, I will ".....Name it...""

Please defend Sheriff Joe Arpaio, Mike Zullo, Phil Berg, Jerome Corsi, Orly Taitz, Larry Klayman, the presidential eligibility requirements of the U.S Constitution and many others of us mostly conservatives who are called "Birthers". We only seek the truth and the rule of law. We want our day in court. So far every legal action has been dismissed on technicalities. NOT ONE has been heard on the merits. Not one has even moved forward to discovery. We need defending..... We need a public figure with courage. You Rush, as a recognized Credible figure, could be our voice. How about just one three hour show focusing on the findings of Sheriff Joe Arpaio's long and careful investigation?

"low-information," eh? See the honest assessment by William of Barsoom. The whole article is posted in the first comment behind the following link. Thanks to the author, a Free Republic subscriber.

"We have an entire generation -- maybe two -- of semi-literate, low-information, inept, fundamentally without personal morality or ethics, and completely uneducated in any meaningful sense, and who understand virtually nothing of how anything works, be it their own thumb-phone, or their government. But they vote. They vote based on bumper sticker slogans, fashion, and nothing else, as they parrot the mindless jingles without thinking about what they mean."

The Republican message is: I am going to give you the opportunity to get and keep stuff. DumBO’s message is: I am going to give you stuff stolen from working people. I think Katherine pointed out to Rush that you can’t compete with Santa.

The conservative message should be that zerO Claus can give you free stuff up to the point you want more, after that, you are going to have to earn it. Once you accept the ObOzO phone, you are going to have to toe the Bolshecrat line to get the next thing they will let you have. Until, you can earn what it is you want, you can’t have it.

When POSOTUS and the Bolshies say that granny and sick kids are going to starve, the conservative answer is, that is their choice not ours. We want those abusing the system to not benefit.

In other words, low information voters are just plain STUPID.

Conservatives Have No Credibility with the Low-Info Crowd Because We Don't Defend Our Own When They Come Under Attack

Conservatives will Never have credibility with the Low-Info Crowd. The problem is that the "low info crowd" is huge in number, and the Democrats know how to harvest their votes via early voting and other means. Why do the Democrats viciously oppose voter ID laws? We witnessed and were victimized by the successful Democrat machine.

This will happen again and again until someone figures out how to "neutralize," reverse, or otherwise counteract this very large voting bloc.

We have repeatedly witnessed this successful tactic in Venezuela (and other communist countries), in the Teamsters union leaders, etc. It may be "over" for our country, with the score before the game starts at 47% to zero, just as our forefathers predicted!
