Bravo Tim, Bravo..........No one could've said this better. -----Original Message----- From: Timothy Mungenast <mungenast@earthlink.net> Sent: Sep 12, 2005 10:23 AM To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com Subject: Devil's AdvocateRE: Dear RED STATES Sounds good, but I'd miss ZZ Top, I'd miss Moon Pies, and besides, I've got a whole passel of red-state relatives who think Dubya is just great. I'm not sure that re-starting the Civil War is the answer. Let's try to understand Bush supporters-- aside from a few cynical plutocrats, most Bush supporters are basically good-hearted folks (like my Mom) who were raised in very socially conservative households and would vote for a bag of popcorn if it ran on a ProLife platform. Anything that even vaguely smells of hippiedom is anathema to them. They would help you if they found you lying in the middle of the road. Your wallet would be safe. They work hard for their families, and they're so busy working their butts off making a living that they really don't have time to read the news. THAT'S KEY. And honestly, they've been underwhelmed by the Democrats' less-than-awesome marketing of less-than-inspiring candidates who kinda lacked charisma, whereas Dubya has this aura that makes ya think he wants to be your drinkin' buddy. It's a gift that not everybody has. Look at Gore. He was a Southerner, a VietNam vet, a sportsman, a genuine bubba, and still the Red States would have none of it. The fact that they chose Captain AWOL over Gore points to feeble Democratic campaigning and, possibly, Al's stiff public persona. Even when you have a good product, ya gotta sell, sell, sell. Ditto for Kerry. A good guy, but you can't afford to shoot yourself in the foot when you are up against the GOP, the best salesmen the world has ever seen. And Kerry did shoot himself in the foot more than a few times. The Red Staters had reasons to vote for Dub. We may not be able to fully comprehend those reasons, but WE CANNOT write these people off as HeeHaw goofballs and inbred haters. You will not win over anybody if you insult them, contrary to what Howard Dean thinks. Resist the urge. Reach out. Try to find some common ground.
