Since one of the main premises of your platform is big government, you're going to really have to start getting out there to convince the American people the value of a bigger government. There is a lot of distrust out there after what has transpired with this administration, it's going to take a lot of work on your part to get the wheels back on the tracks.

All they have to do is let the Republican teabaggers run their mouths, no pun intended.

Give em enough rope and let them hang themselves is the Democratic party's strategy against the GOP, and it worked in the last election.

A government powerful enough to confiscate the amount of our wages the liberals want confiscated is also powerful enough to spy on us.

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the people discover they can vote themselves largess out of the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the canidate promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that democracy always collapses over a loose fiscal policy--to be followed by a dictatorship.”
