What we won't become is a 'Democratic Party lite!' We are a party that wants smaller government and lower taxes. Obama and the Democrats do not. We are a party that wants to encourage small business. We are a party that has a large constituent group that believes in a social agenda and we will not abandon them. ↗

Most poets are elitist dregs more concerned with proving their skill with a dictionary than communicating ideas with impact. ↗
