This generalizing and sloganizing is, as you rightly point out, not nearly as valuable as walking the walk, so to speak. But when it comes to getting the chickens to consider whether a vote for the colonel is in thier best interest, well the chicken feed they prefer seems to be shouted slogans.

Whatever they are, the more we kick'em around and polish them and remove the burrs that offend more than they reach out to sectarian sections of society, the better equipped we are to get in the ring with Karl Rove message machines.GreenSmilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07126239521640810895noreply@blogger.com
