So, Hillary's post-NH drubbing strategy is to be anti-Government?

Hillary accused Bernie during the debate that his policies are going to grow the government and that his socialistic ideas are fantasy that could never happen. And even if he could make them happen it would hurt the middle class not help it. It sounded very familiar to me...

Oh yes, now I remember,

"I don't want to abolish government. I simply want to reduce it to the size where I can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub." -- Grover Norquist

"I hate big government, but I really hate a government that doesn't work. So when 'they say we either have to raise taxes or cut core services,' it's actually a 'false choice.'" --Scott Walker

"Big government doesn't help the middle class, it buries it." --Marco Rubio

"The future is not Big Government. Self-serving politicians. Powerful bureaucrats. This has been tried, tested throughout history. The result has always been disaster. President Obama, your agenda is not new. It's not change, and it's not hope." --Rush Limbaugh

And then to top it off, Hillary accused Bernie of doing to Obama the exact thing she had just done to Bernie: she accused him of sounding like a Republican. Very Rovian tactic Hillary, very Rovian.
