Speech at Madison Square Garden (October 31, 1936)- Franklin Delano Roosevelt
For nearly four years you have had an Administration which instead of twirling its thumbs has rolled up its sleeves. We will keep our sleeves rolled up.
We had to struggle with the old enemies of peace—business and financial monopoly, speculation, reckless banking, class antagonism, sectionalism, war profiteering.
They had begun to consider the Government of the United States as a mere appendage to their own affairs. We know now that Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob.
Never before in all our history have these forces been so united against one candidate as they stand today. They are unanimous in their hate for me—and I welcome their hatred.
I should like to have it said of my first Administration that in it the forces of selfishness and of lust for power met their match. I should like to have it said of my second Administration that in it these forces met their master.

Veruca Salt Republicans
December 3rd, 2010Simply put: The Republicans are Spoiled Brats, and the Democrats have enabled them.
A “spoiled brat” is a child that exhibits behavioral problems from overindulgence by his or her parents. Some children, when they want something, cry, kick, yell, scream, whine, and nag until they get their way.
Every parent has seen this behavior.
Unfortunately, the nature of Democrats has been that of the weak parent who constantly gives in to their child at the first sign of crocodile tears. The parent thinks that they are compromising, or simply preventing a worse scenario in public, but we all know that spoiling these children only guarantees future continuance of this behavior.
Not only that, but the outside observer of this event, more often looks at the PARENT as the problem! (see November 2010 elections as an example)
UNCOVERS:
The Democrats are far too timid, far too conciliatory, and far too easily played the fool. At some point, after being burned and used, time and time again, you need to Ferberize the child, take the toy away, and discipline the bad behavior.
Being implacably steadfast, if you know you are doing the right thing for 98% of the country, is the right thing to do. And if you want to be a party in control of the Government, you cannot allow the temper-tantrum to control the debate.
If you allow it, that becomes the norm, and then instead of actually being productive, you spend all of your time managing the level of noise that the tantrum produces.
They expect you to back down, Democrats… man up!
