I surely do agree that this is a problem.


Go find the video of Howard Stern interviewing people in Harlem about whether or not they like Obama because he is pro-life or because he is willing to stay the course in Iraq until the job is done and you will have your proof.


But as usual the solution to a wrong situation is not to create another wrong situation. As usual the solution to a problem is to address the actual problem. If there are ignorant voters out there then by all means each one of us can get up off our butts and educate someone. I have no doubt that that is why you are here. So don't ever stoop to the level of the media that influences people with emotion rather than fact, or to the level of the politicians who influence people with lies or innuendo. Instead be better at knowing the facts (or at least in looking them up), in stating the facts convincingly and winsomely. Outhink, outlive, and outserve your opponent so that people will be drawn to your point of view. You will not win them all but you can win enough to turn the tide. We might not even win this election but if we can change the hearts and minds of even one person forever then that is a greater victory than changing the hearts and minds of 10 people for two months.
