guys, the free market failed. Big time. Most people I think know that. Campaigning against big government won't work as well as it did 5 or 10 years ago. This is 1932, not 1980.
Remember that FDR was wildly popular throughout the country in the worst years of the Great Depression because 1) people knew the Depression wasn't his fault, 2) they knew he was doing his best to make things better, and 3) the Republicans had no credibility left. At one point there were 16 Republican senators. It wasn't until 1968, or perhaps 1980, that Lazziez Fair economics made a comeback and America was again willing to elect a Conservative Republican president.
Idleness is the democrat party's stock in trade. "WHERE'S MY WELFARE CHECK??? I NEED TO BUY CIGS!!!!!"
rhetoric like this is insulting. I know many people who are trying to find jobs but can't because of the economic situation. Assuming such people are lazy, labeling them, and attacking them, is equivalent to liberals in the Bush years who called his supporters "hicks" who lived in "flyover country."
