typical "cart before horse" thinking... you assume that I am wrong because I get under your skin and then try to piece together events to prove your opinion...
and insult me in the process with combative posting... typical bowslit...
You make these assumptions about my views because they dont follow your hansel and gretel bread crumb trails...

I have an intelligent dialog with your "buddy" canosvp and in the civil exchange of ideas about my views on GOP/teaparty strategy to get indys and dems to change their vote from obama in 2008 to GOP in 2012...
Read it through... you might understand where I was coming from... you might also learn some manners and etiquette by modeling canosvp... It always boggles my mind that between you two posters that are on the extreme opposite sides of the intelligence spectrum that you say the same thing... but I guess that is the benefit of talking points/puppet strings...
But let me try to explain my reasoning in terms you might understand... remember your post about rehabilitation for convicts in prison is spending their time watching closed circuit cable tv of people enjoying life and the fruits of their labors?
well your idea says that telling people why they should do something... especially when they have a record of doing it before (like voting for obama)... you are better off showing them the benefits of making the other choice... showing people the negatives on their choice may result in not voting for obama again, but does not make them want to therefore vote for romney...
really simple psychological principles here...
this thinking error is a critical assumption that results in you card house arguments come toppling down...
Lets break it down mathematically...
lets say that in 2008 obama got 280 votes in the last election and 200 votes for mccain/palin...
so in 2012 GOP needs to get 81 voters to not vote obama and have a 100% turn out of mccain/palin 2008 voters
Or...
get 41 voters who went obama in 2008 vote for romney...
So wouldnt it make sense to focus on trying to sell positives/advantages of romney rather then bash obama?
Why would there be such intense focus away from optimal strategy... Unless... there is nothing to sell...
As an undecided voter myself... I want to know/understand romney better to make a more educated decision on who I vote for... and willing to hear the positives of how romney is going to make things better...
wouldn't want to put the cart in front of the horse
Do you disagree with my psychological and mathematical reasoning behind optimal strategy?
still waiting...I am thinking that this whole dialogue/discussion thing is too challenging for you.... just let me know if it is so that you dont feel "hammered"
