201. Yeah, well with any sector of the political spectrum theres a range of
opinion. I would say put up against the full global range of political thinkers I would be close to the middle and the DNC/DLC would be a little to the right. They are moderates, but I don't agree with them. Also the thing with moderates is we are purposely very slow to boil. We are (pick your word) stable/stuck/insensitive/unwavering/blind. You get what I mean? We are centrists and not easily moved.

Using me for an example, I didn't understand that * was really stealing votes on a massive scale until just after this election. I knew there were things about 2000 that didn't look good, but I never made the leap to actually believing that there was a concerted effort to steal the 2000 election until now. It was an unthinkable and monsterous thing. I would have just laughed it off. It took my own experience of a gut feeling that something was terribly wrong on Nov 3rd, before I was willing to entertain the evidence and notion that indeed the vote had been tampered with.

I think other moderates also will have to be coaxed along. Lead them gently, not by shouting "Bush Cheated!" but rather by emphasizing we have to investigate ALL election fraud, whether by Democrat or Republican. It must be presented as a non-partisan issue, which it truly is. Walk the moderates through this, step by step and go slowly. They already have a sinking feeling, so show them the non-controversial hard facts that are getting MSM attention, and really there's plenty there. Voter suppression, vote fraud (mostly by Dems), computer glitches, Warren Co lockdown. Think of KO as the entry barrier to moderates and stick to the stuff he reports positively. If he promotes it, you can be sure it will fly w/ moderates.
