Its not about getting help for success, and its not about government playing a role, for both of those generalities are correct. What the key to the American Dream is, is a work ethic.
Put an effort into life, and see what you get out of it.
I'd love to hear Mitt Romney or John Sununu emphasize more of that positive generality than acting aghast about the words of Mr. Obama, which essentially he's earned the right to say, he's an elected President.
In another consideration, did you hear all the people cheering for what he was saying? Those are wayward voters there. Generally speaking, not enlighten to the conservative interpretation of American Exceptionalism.
The tact of the opposition to the liberal reinterpretation I don't think is going to do much to appeal to the intellectual curiosity of the cheering Obama-ites. It places Mitt as out of touch. Let the words as the President lay, its not helping.
Promote work ethic. That doesn't oppose the president. The people who like the president have their reasons, and they don't likely like being debased for that like. They'll become defensive, harden their support.
Mitt needs to crack the mindset. One way maybe to link success as an effort, link taxes as what they are, a deterrent. Repeat over and over again that the best way for us to move Forward(steal the slogan) is for all of us to put an effort in.
Taxes just rob life, spending too much raises taxes, needing government begets more spending, working hard for your gains in life ends the downward cycle, and precipitates personal vitality.
That's the conservative message.
Denying government and others help plays a role in success is absurd, we know that Mitt and Sununu and any other GOP politician have spent careers building just the opposite. Let the first politician who has not tweaked government to encourage success in his or her district throw the first stone.
