Step 1 :  Filibuster majority party on popular legislation.  Make sure to point out how the “majority” is weak because they still can’t seem to get anything done.

Step 2 : Rant and Rave about how “Government” is a bunch of selfish jerks because they hate good things.  Become popular broadcasting populist messages.

Step 3 : Neglect to mention how your employer is doing the work of previously mentioned minority party.  Make sure never to mention you are a political operative when bashing politicians.

Step 4 : Profit, baby!  Funnel those profits back into the party.

Step 5 : And win!
