CHICAGO – Here’s my advice to Sen. Barack Obama’s supporters: Stop predicting that the Democrats will sweep into the White House and Congress come January with a mandate to expand Big Government.
That prospect, coupled with some of your candidate’s own tax and health-care plans, could scare swing voters you need next Tuesday...
...Obama needs to underscore — there's no risk of doing it too much — that he doesn’t like government for its own sake, but for the sake of individuals and families.
And now for the Big Lie:
"On these and other issues, he also needs to reassure voters that he will not necessarily march in lockstep with resurgent Democrats who will want to launch a top-to-bottom New New Deal and reverse the Reagan Revolution 28 years after it took place. "
That's right. Forget the fact that Obama has never voted against his party, for less government or lower taxes. Obama will do a complete about face on the statist philosophy he's held his entire adult life. Yeah, that's the ticket!
Talk about a straw man! Obama's not bad because he's not at all like the man who doesn't exist that likes government for its own sake. Get real! All lefties like government because of what it can do for individuals: suppress the ones they don't like, pay off the ones they do. People just aren't as stupid as the Finemans of the world want them to be.
