To paraphrase: You can please some of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but you can never please all of the people all of the time.

While I completely agree with you in principal, the harsh reality is stated above. You'll never please all of the people all of the time. So, to my way of thinking, pleasing the most amount of people the most amount of the time is the hoped for goal. Since over 60% of people polled identify themselves as moderate to staunchly conservative, and liberals only make up 20% of the population, my thoughts are that a group, like the Tea Party, is the logical starting point to attaining the goal you just mentioned, namey us against them.
