You see, that\u2019s the rub, ladies and gentlemen. The president and Karl Rove\u2019s Big Theory is to expand the Republican Party by enacting legislation that appeals more to leftists and moderates and thereby steal votes from the Democrats rather than expanding the number of conservatives in your base. The problem is, does it work? Once you move to the center, and embrace those people and get their votes, are they going to stay with you? History says no. In 1972, Richard Nixon raised Social Security benefits by 20%. Did Republicans get any credit for it?
