We also need to take off the politically correct gloves and start playing hardball with the facts. How can people sit there and hear Hillary tell you that you (productive) people are going to have to sacrifice more so those less fortunate (unproductive) can benefit. Screw that! If you want more from life, get it yourself. I'm tired of paying for your better life and my expense and I'd like my party to have the guts to say so out loud. Call Hillary out: She wants to raise your taxes, folks, so why are you supporting her? No wonder she appeals to the unproductive members of society. But no...the GOP wants to take the high road and not point that out. The GOP no longer has a spine for a fight.

How 'bout this for a drastic idea: Instead of seeing the economic pie as fix and the only way to make one group better is to take something away from another group, why not create a business environment (cut taxes on business and consumers, less regulation, etc.) where the size of the pie gets bigger. A rising tide lifts all boats.

Hillary, by her own words, takes the Marxist view of income redistribution, as evidenced by her own words. Alas, McCain seems to have the same view of the world. How sad for the rest of us productive members of this society.

You are referring to the “trickle down theory” which became known as Reaganomics. Reagan was not only a communicator, he was an educator. Newt has some of that quality, too, but not the populist appeal to the common man/woman that Reagan did. Huck has populist appeal but Romney doesn’t, neither does McCain or Hillary. Obama has charm that inspires the common man. Reagan could do that. We have to put those pieces together with our ideology like Reagan did to develop conservative leadership in this country.
