Fear the Democrats!

Greater ballot security? Nope. Voting by felons? Yes.

Increasing regulation by government agencies? A push for greater prevalence of abortion (even partial-birth) on demand? Greater use of government takings of private property? Race-based privileges and benefits? Yes, yes, yes, and yes.

Judges who think the Constitution means what it says and that its meaning doesn't change without formal amendment? Perish the thought.

And so on, right down the line. Conservatives can honestly say that the liberals who dominate the Democratic Party are in favor of everything conservatives abhor, and oppose everything conservatives hold dear. As disappointed as conservatives are with Republicans in Congress, conservatives can't make the same blanket statement about the Grand Old Solons.

So the Republican message this fall could boil down to this: Don't you dare elect those soft-on-defense, tax-increasing, big-spending, impeachment-obsessed, radical-coddling, amnesty-offering, oil-shortage-causing, socialized-medicine-pushing, felon-voting, property-confiscating, race-hustling, activist-judging, partial-birth-abortioning Democrats.

It might just work.
