One of the things you have love about the internet is how you can get a peek into other's deeply held beliefs, and then be just amazed. Check out what The White Trash Republican reprinted on his blog about the election:
Why We Lost
...
But that same National Party let us down. They let our sons and daughters doing the fighting down, they let everyone who donated time and money down...
And they did it long before we ever geared up for this election.
We have faced a 24/7 propoganda onslaught from the left since the day the attacks on the Trade center.
Bush has TRIED to lead, but the Radical Left and the Dem Washington Elites refused to allow it. The media pushed LIE AFTER LIE, and we couldn't gain traction.
Really? It's the Democrats who have been lying? I had no idea. And apparently it's the Democrats who have been playing the 9/11 propaganda card.
Where do you even begin to start a conversation with a person who holds these kinds of views? What's the common ground?
I guess now I know how a Right Winger must feel when they hear Michael Moore talking.
Ben, do you really consider yourself a left winger? I mean most Americans are pretty much somewhere in the middle (leaning left maybe). I would think that's where you could start a conversation. Say simply, look... i'm a centrist and you lost my vote not because of the dems, but because of the republicans and here's why.
