The real problem is us

G.D. Frogsdong has hit the frog on the dong. Or something like that.

Let me tell you about an experience I had while phone banking for local candidates. Understand that our county candidates have absolutely nothing to do with abortion. I called one woman and began to talk to her about the county candidates. I explained to her that the people I was talking about were running for freeholder and sheriff. When I tried to tell her a little about them (I had been talking for maybe fifteen seconds), she cut me off and asked, "Which candidate is against abortion?" I told her I didn't know, that these candidates had nothing to do with the abortion issue and made no decisions affecting abortion. She said, "Well, whichever one is against abortion, that's who I am voting for." I asked her, realizing that this was a wasted phone call anyway, "And which one is that?" She answered, "I don't know. That's what I asked you." She doesn't know who the candidate against abortion is, but she's voting for him. If I were a Republican, I would have told her that all the candidates I mentioned are opposed to abortion. I still regret that I didn't, but that wouldn't have been honest, so I told her the truth, which is that I don't know.

That is something we are up against. There are a lot of people who don't care about anything but one issue. "Is he a Christian?" "Does he support abortion?" "Is he someone I would want to have a beer with?"

You can tell those people the facts all day long and they won't hear a word you are saying.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
