Dear Michelino,
Re: I've found that you can charm the masses out of laziness but not of obstinacy.
Do you have a specific example or two of this effect? I have no idea what you are talking about.

Re: You will be far more productive if you first ask whom they would vote for, and if they say "BUSH" or "SATAN"
Good God, I hope you never have to try to make a living in sales. The salesman never, ever, (did I say never) let's the customer queer the deal before the pitch gets made. The whole idea here is to spread FUD. The act is to be totally sincere, with clipboard in hand and a smile on the face and when the "worthy" answers the door, the pitch starts immediately. Express a great deal of concern about the course of things in Washington appearing to be running off the tracks, say that you are campaigning for "a change", "good government", "less corruption", "tax savings -- by preventing waste by the Pentagon, for instance".
Never let the customer say "No" before you've even started the pitch. That's suicidal.
While my likely success rate at converting the priggish among the Republicans (and is there any other kind?), probably isn't all that great, all I'm really interested in doing is rocking their world, creating FUD, making sure to reinforce the doubts that they do have about a monster like George Bush. Use the levers of "bandwagon" and "being on the winning side" to convince the customer that he's much better off treating George Bush like a leper, a pariah and a sleazy conman. I can do all that very sincerely. |
