Those Awful Liberal Elite
Starting with Ronald Reagan there has been a very public, quite successful campaign by American conservatives to paint liberals as elitists who just want to control how people live their lives. Through masterful use of media (aided, of course, by the growing conservative control of said media) this campaign has been quite successful. Millions of people see the Republicans as the party that will protect them from the excesses of big government, and liberals as people who want to tell them how to live. This record needs examination on both counts.
