re: #444 ggt

I’m concerned that the what many of us (well me, anyway) consider common-sense values are being highjacked(or perceived as and reported as by the MSM) by the RRight and other whackos as their exclusive values. It’s as if anyone who thinks that it is flat out wrong to conceive a child one can’t care for is a religious whacko.

How do we counteract this?

First, we need to expel a handful of crazies. To do this, I would target a handful of groups on the fringe of the Religious Right and work make them be seen as crazy and out of the conservative mainstream. Demonize one to warn ten.

Second would be to present our ideas to the public as responsible options. Point out how our policies are designed to be pro-growth and supportive of normal people, while the other side is pursuing policies of redistribution and catering to fringe groups.
