The “fighting back” meme wasn’t her actual topic but her reaction to the poll that shows 40% of America Conservative vs 21% liberal encompasses the entire point of my argument:
But what would work better — defining and promoting the conservative brand or signaling moderation? Looking at the last election, I’d say: Be forthrightly conservative. Tell us what it is and stand by it. You only need to win over less than a third of the moderates: Convince us it’s better to trust conservatives than liberals. The Obama administration and Congress are giving you so much material to work that theme.
She references her post on How McCain lost me:
1. He did not understand economics, the most important issue.
2. He lost the ability to make the experience argument.
3. He never defined himself as a principled conservative. (emphasis mine)
4. Erratic and incoherent, he lacked sufficient mental capacity.
This is the reason why the media tries to define or leaders and diminish actual conservative leaders. It is the reason why they attempt to demoralize us. We only have to convince 2 out of every 7 moderates to reach 50%. Once that is understood everything the media does against us makes sense.
So I say again fight, fight and keep fighting. These guys are a house of cards waiting to fall. As long as the conversation is about reality we can win.
Update: Rush supports me again. He must be reading my mind from long distance today.
