In the past the Democrat Party has been for smaller government in our personal lives and more government in our fiscal lives while Republicans have been for smaller government in our fiscal lives and more government in our personal lives (in theory).
We need to start promoting those that would typically fall into the Democrat party on personal issues and perhaps encourage those in the Republican party who want more government in our personal lives to either find a third party or even join the Democrats?
Perhaps start associating religious extremists with the Democrat party. Such as Rev Wright and his ilk.
There is already a noticable shift. Consider the fact that there are a lot of Republicans up in arms about the TSA right now. While the Democrats are silent. We need to recruit folks that are Democrats who are against such invasions of privacy and shun those in the Republican Party calling for bigger government in such a case, associating them with the Democrat Party.
CPAC is a good example of this. With the gay activists wanting to play a larger role at CPAC, we should try to open it up, bring in the gays that are for smaller government. Drown out the social conservatives and leave them choosing between moving to the party of socialists to advance their agenda, or leave their big government mindset at the door and enjoy fiscal sanity with the rest of us.
We can shift this from a left-right paradigm to a big-government/small-government paradigm.
I guarantee that there are more people on the side of small government.
