(349 posts)11. Wasting time on the rightwing base
The rightwing base is a bunch of cowards and haters, so they should not be a concern. The rabid neo-GOP voters are going to vote against Obama even if he had Jesus as his VP and the Stalin was the Republican candidate.
However, maybe you can change my mind with an interesting and concrete idea? However, to me it would be less important if the ad scares the neo-GOP than it persuades the weirdos in the middle. I'm not sure which is more mysterious: (1) Lincoln Republicans who support the neo-GOP. (2) GOP voters who still support the neo-GOP. (3) Undecided voters, given the vast differences between the parties.

I was thinking of the anti democratic direction the GOP is engaged in, a devolution of the party.
