excerpt:
As I said in the earlier post, for years at progressive conferences the question of how to reach these voters to explain reality to them comes up again and again, and no one has an answer. I think step one is to somehow gain their trust or sympathy so they are willing to listen, but that won’t happen overnight.Comment:
If you listen to "maha", all these right wing wackos just won't listen to reason. Well, let me disabuse anyone of that thought with respect to yours truly. I went to her site as well as others and got different points of view. I still do that. I even commented upon her blog- but eventually was banned because of what I'll refer to here as a pretty minor disagreement. I think the truth of the matter is these people just aren't interested in white male voters, such as myself. Not only that, the left thinks they are better than anyone else. I've seen that on this lady's blog. She really believes it. But when something like this comes up, well it's all on the closed minded bigoted white man who just doesn't get it and never will. Spare me. The truth is not desired on that blog, nor anywhere else on the left, as far as I can tell.
One more thing: Obama needs a white man as an opponent. Therefore, the greatest effort possible will go into trashing anyone in the race who isn't a white man. That means Bachmann and Cain, at this juncture. Prior to that, it was Palin. The identity politics will be played to the hilt. The left needs conservatives to abandon Palin, Bachmann and Cain. That's so they can make the accusation, and to continue playing their game. They need the white man to demonize. It's all they've got.
The Republicans need to get a clue on this one. Anybody who doesn't see the identity politics here has definitely got their eyes wide shut. That's why I am defending Cain vigorously. Also, it is why I defended Palin. Bachmann too, even though I don't think she gets the identity politics. These three are not in conformity with the leftist model, and must not be allowed to succeed. Otherwise, their game is over.
Update:
