How about this for an idea, just an idea.
Edited on Thu Aug-20-09 11:11 PM by GivePeaceAchance
Sure lots of people our side don't like her, but she has a set of passionate followers. How about if Barack just created a position of health care czar. Coming from her they would suddenly hear what the truth is maybe incoherently but as long as she got the main facts across. I'm just thinking of everything if not him bring in Huckabee or Ron Paul. Barack said a team of rivals and if he could get them to agree it improves his security too. When they take the position President Obama would be boss the whole equation changes, whatever it takes to get them to hear sense. I don't know I'm just thinking of everything I can.

The main point is we need someone they'll listen to, it doesn't have to be the above but someone.

3. Well I have no idea how to turn back the tide on public opinion turning on what is in their intrest
I'm just trying to think of everything and not trying to upset anyone. Just thinking of all we can to get this back on track, if not this idea something else but whatever we can do to get on track.

Edited on Thu Aug-20-09 11:08 PM by GivePeaceAchance
these people it's what a large section of independents and right wing think of them. If it helps get the message out. It's just a thought if we can get back on message then we'd be fine.

45. Maybe there's part of my over optimistic nature that refuses to accept that part of human nature...
Edited on Sat Aug-22-09 01:44 AM by GivePeaceAchance
I think trying to find some good people is always finding the best way forward, which is only what President Obama trys to do. We all start out with a innocent nature and behind the cynicism it's still there in each person, that's what President Obama trys to reach out to on the right it's hard but he trys. Even if that is the case for every singple person opposing him, it would still look bad on them yelling and screaming at someone like Susan Eisenhower explaining the legislation to them. They'd look even more crazy and baseless in their objection. Try not to bang your head to hard btw, you'll get a nasty headache. :)

10. Yeah, OK not her but all my point is Obama needs someone out there they'll listen to...
Edited on Thu Aug-20-09 11:03 PM by GivePeaceAchance
They won't listen to us but if we find they right person they will. How about Susan Eisenhower she was awesome at the DNC if they can just get someone to help push our message they like it will make a world of difference.

19. Yes, thank you, brain storming is about wild ideas..
Edited on Thu Aug-20-09 11:19 PM by GivePeaceAchance
but then getting folks to amend and sontruct up it. THere are a lot of terrible ideas out there but they can all be amended built upon. I may of used a few trigger words but my basic suggestion is find someone seniors will listen to on the right.

21. Why would Ron Paul be willing to be part of a bigger government? He wants NO Government at all.
He truly believes that government is the problem, a la Reagan.

Edited on Thu Aug-20-09 11:26 PM by GivePeaceAchance
That's all, wasn't out for flame baiting just working to get something constructive done. We can all go all ye abandon hope or we can think of something. In the process of brain storming you come up with anything and everything and then modify each idea till you have something better. I guess we'll go for abandon all hope then.

We don't need any of those anywhere near federal government.

Edited on Thu Aug-20-09 11:32 PM by GivePeaceAchance
but there will be others. Just because someone happens to be Republican as much as a lot of them are disagreeable doen't mean it can't be a positive outcome. And I in now way support Republicans.

What you need to do is to start a journal so we can keep track of it.


You may think something else of it tomorrow and a journal would help it with.

at all it's not saying hey isn't Ron Paul and Sarah Palin cool. I know they're not I'm not that blind, it doesn't have to be them there are other people out there more moderate they could do. Susan Eisenhower could be effective. The main point is someone they will listen to.
