to convert through reasonable dialogue. Good luck. But where/when does that happen? On Hannity's show? On O'Reilly's? They're as fixed as pro wrestling. (and taped). Certainly not on Limbaugh or Boortz's carefully screened shows. A certain percentage of our population is lost. They're never going to listen. Well, not to us. They won't believe cold, hard facts. There are no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. We weren't attacked by Iraq on September 11th. Yet half of America still believes both to be true. Your dialogue isn't going very well. And you have help from newspaper columnists, Jon Stewart, Bill Maher, Michael Moore, and various rock musicians. We're losing. The conservatives are winning. So, yes, we need new tactics. But I disagree on the methods. I don't believe we'll combat the likes of the neocons and their media blitz with your one on one conversions. The swiftboat veterans proved this. They lied and lied about Kerry. And they got their message out. Bush was AWOL from his Alabama Guard service. Yet that crucial information was ignored. Again, this isn't a chess game. This is the future of what America means. Let's grow a backbone and change the direction.
