No.
People assume that Republican and Democrats--or more to the point, the Right and the Left--are equal-but-opposite entities. This is not the case. What works for the Left does would not work for the Right.
The left strives off of class warfare and strife. This is not new, and has been the case since the enlightenment. Why would we stoke these fires and expect to come out ahead?

Whoa....did anyone just hear what the attorney (Victoria Toensing) for one of the Benghazi survivors said on special report? "They are threatening everyone. Not just people at State but the CIA too."

Yes, and OMG. Barry and Hildebeast are lying liars with the blood of brave and honorable men on their hands. The info that spec ops guy revealed was chilling. And heartbreaking.

Yeah it's real timely as well...thank God we didn't hear any of the damning evidence prior to the election

I'd just be happy for someone, anyone who is allegedly on our side to start pointing out the manifold ways that the Left is forcing able-bodied Americans out of the workforce.
Why aren't they saying,"If we had a robust economy, like we once had, and everybody had a job that wanted one, you would have a lot more money."
?

Ace,
Barky has been waging a War on the Middle Class...from the gitgo.
He knows that is where the real strength of this country is.
So he has been systematically setting out to destroy it.
He points to 'the rich' as the object of his disdain...
But he is pounding the Middle Class into the ground with the other hand.

The government and the colleges have conspired to make YOU go into massive debt in order to support the ridiculous salaries and fancy buildings for the universities. They can ask whatever they want for tuition and they know the government will offer your the loan, even though they know there are no jobs available in most of the degrees offered.

30 I only caught the tail end of that Benghazi thing. Can anyone do a recap?
The guy said that we had a Special Ops Team close enough to Benghazi that night, that they could've gone to their rescue.
But no one gave them the order.

Not in the Fair Share, 99% vs 1%, soak the rich, income redistribution sense, that would be going too far. And wrong.
However, one of the big obstacles the GOP faces is the public impression of them only caring about The Rich and Big Evil Corporations.
Before you decry that it's an unfair stereotype, ask yourself what they've done to change that impression. Answer: Not a whole hell of a lot.
Much of the amnesty push from the right is very overtly driven by the Chamber of Commerce types who want cheap labor, including a constant supply of illegals. There's a reason that GOP amnesty supporters go weak on border enforcement.
With regards to taxes, we're losing the argument when it comes to people like Romney paying a low tax rate. Remember- his money wasn't made investing his own money, but that of others. Yet, he still enjoyed the same low tax rate on investment.
Is that something we really ought to be defending? Is it even defensible outside a reactionary "taxes = bad" kneejerk response?
Yet, any Republican who suggests that yes, there are some loopholes and deductions employed by the rich that should probably be done away with catches hell not just from the Grover Norquist set, but the base as well.
As long as the GOP keeps acting like the party of The Rich, people will see them that way.

I fear for the safety of that guy who just appeared on Fox...
His image was in the dark...and his voice was altered.
But someone will recognize who he is.
Stay safe, buddy...whoever you are.
And God Bless you for speaking out.

Class Warfare for Republicans
by Joel Kotkin
As a Truman-style Democrat...
Step 1.
Stop taking advice on what Republicans should do from Democrats.

This war would last until the cries of "Racism!" arose, then the Republican leaders would roll over and urinate on themselves in supplication like whipped poodles.

a) sell the problem, sell the problem, sell the problem --
b) never let up on the responsibility to act -- keep saying the the left is irresponsible and never let anyone change the subject. [the converse can also be used -- gov't is illegitimate when it acts where they are not actually the one responsible - ie. Bloomberg's Big Gulps -- ties directly to Glenn Reynold's 2nd law of bad gov't]
c) always point out that the left is never reasonable or sensible. Show that every solution the left proposes is unreasonable and insensible -- and be brutal about it.
d) always point out that the left is not listening and they do not care. [that's right -- hit them square in the face with their own signature issue at all times. If they really cared, something would be different by now.]
There is no doubt that these things will eventually cross through the class warfare battle space because the left will drag the fight to that location. Doesn't matter -- take the fight straight into their face wherever it goes.
The fight is: the left acts illegitimately, the left behaves irresponsibly, unreasonably, and insensibly. OK -- some of you are saying to yourself: "Repubs say this stuff all the time, it just doesn't seem to work." You are right, and in part that is because they don't add the last part -- "the reason the left is failing is because they don't listen and they don't care."
In other words, go for their throat -- every leftist in politics has relied on their credibility about how much they "care" throughout their entire career. No matter how stupid they are, they get to claim they "care" and somehow that overcomes their stupidity. Screw that. Brutally attack that credibility head-on and crush it.
* all of this shamelessly stolen from the Bleiker Life Preserver -- it has just been reversed to form an attack.

Of course you don't want to accept Kotkin (or Rand Paul) uncritically, but he's a rarity, like Micky Kaus - a liberal Dem who doesn't automatically drink the Kool-Aid. He's written quite a few pieces on how the blue state economic model is breaking down to the detriment of longtime Dem voters. It's something the Repubs, or someone on the right, should be able to take advantage of. He doesn't have all the answers but he's asking the right questions.
