I agree with Seth.  Put out radical economic proposals (public works 
jobs, universal health care, what have you), build a working-class 
base of support for them, and then tell "conservatives" of the sort 
that Seth describes above that such economic proposals are really the 
conservative thing to do -- they conserve our values, families, 
traditions, environments, etc.
