47. Exactly; the RW knew their agenda and tailored the message
to both obscure it and appeal to the religioticious.

The mushy middle perceived the "lower taxes" meme as caring about their concerns; at the same time, the religioticious embraced the decidedly un-true conservative message of the government being big daddy and protecting them from those awful gays, women, R-rated moviegoeers, and sensible car drivers.

The true agenda was so muddied that we now find ourselves in the predicament we're in now.

The middle is only about themselves and now. A great nation needs more than that.

Both sides would benefit from real leadership, and that doesn't come from talking points. It comes from the courage to act even within doubt.
