Attention conservative laymen: 'Think', do not 'react'.
News outlets are turning the primary into American Idol by trying these tricks to set up conflict, 30 second answers etc. Newt was right to chastise those Fox News reporters for this.
Are the issues of the day worth more than a 30-60 second soundbite?
Some of my conservative friends are being manipulated by the "American Idoling" of the presentation, and that only serves to get Obama re-elected.
You have two choices. Stop "reacting" and start thinking OR you can be played like a Stradivarius by every leftist propagandist who knows how to pluck your conservative heartstrings.
Your heart is in the right place, but in the age of Saul Alinsky that is no longer good enough.
