Noth...'persuade 70%'? Not going to happen.<br /><br />Nothing has ever been done that way, and never will. A motivated few will and always have accomplished everything. Can't be done by persuading 'everybody'. You have to do it despite their ignorance.<br /><br />Hijack one of the two parties and make it what you want. No other way it can be done.Idahosernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22818602.post-43253017946505070582010-07-31T19:48:22.096-04:002010-07-31T19:48:22.096-04:00Stephen:

Otherwise we don't care about the poor or oppose the right to vote.danqhttp://www.xcopfly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22818602.post-37321026530096800002010-07-30T21:08:05.405-04:002010-07-30T21:08:05.405-04:00Unfortunately we have one political party that par...Unfortunately we have one political party that partially believes this and another that disagrees completely with the idea. Considering the people, it seems that 1/3 of the people care about limited government and the remaining 2/3rds either don't care or like the idea of a centralized government. So until we can persuade those in the seventy percentile to come over we are screwed. <br /><br />We won't get there unless parents start educating their children about liberty and freedom and then hopefully in another generation we might get the 30 percent to 50 percent. Then watch the real fight begin.Stephenhttp://stephen.hopkins07@gmail.comnoreply@blogger.com
