asurob, remember "The Life of Julia"? That wasn't a Republican idea. "Julia" was treated like a kid for her entire life by government.
HHM, there were a shitload of Rs on the sidelines for the last election. They were disgusted w/ the candidate because he wasn't a conservative, so I don't think there's any way you can separate policy and politics.
That being said, I think Republicans have to get fricking mean when it comes to criticizing Dems...like Dems do to Republicans. They have to get people's emotions flowing like the Dems are so good at. At the same time, they have to make people feel empowered about their own abilities to improve their own lives. Even though this country seems to have gone off the collectivist deep end, I think the message of self-improvement and initiative still resonates w/ a lot of people.
