2. Good for you. You might not change the mind of the idiot you are arguing with, but maybe others'

I try to get out of the DU-Bubbleverse on occasion as I want people who have not heard the facts yet to hear/read them. I have no expectation at all of changing the mind of the RW nutjob I'm arguing with on mixed (non-political of mixed politically) message boards, but I believe there are a wide spectrum of people that also read these comments, and haven't seen or heard the facts yet, just the Fox/Limbaugh distortions. I very strongly believe we need to get out and message more, and not just huddle down in our safe haven bubble-verses, if we expect to do better than we have been in elections.

The long version of my rant is at: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1022146#post8

Unfortunately I don't have time for this tonight or tomorrow because have to get ready for a tax appointment. But I wish you good luck.
