If you grow the party by bribing people with handouts making more people dependent on government, what do you have? You have a copy of the democrat party and a bunch of people you will only keep in the party by ever expanding social programs.
Bill Buckley wrote an editorial when Nixon was president. He warned Nixon that he couldnt out Democrat the Democrats for long. That's still true today. You can do it for a short time but they will always out Democrat you in the end.
In the column he warned against expanding government for short term political gain. He was right. Expanding the party by making more people dependent on the government is throwing away the whole system that made this country the envy of the world.
Growing the party by making more people dependent on government is running away. Fighting to stop the leftward slide is working for the good of the country.

If you grow the party...One of the major parties will run the government. It sounds like you don't like the Democrats. If that's true, then do what you can to defeat them and you will have accomplished something for yourself and for the rest of us that feel the same way.
