Indoctrinate Them Early
Have you seen this book?
Here are some sample phrases, which are accompanied by not-so-subtle illustrations (comments in parentheses mine):
"Democrats make sure we all share our toys, just like Mommy does."
(How many kids hate it when adults tell them to share or else? Oh, the beggar on the bench is a nice touch.)
"Democrats make sure we are all safe, just like Mommy does."
(See the cute little squirrels moving over from the lumbering elephant on the path.)
"Democrats make sure children can go to school, just like Mommy does."
(We see a black graduate in the background.)
I mean, come on. What kid is really interested in whether Mommy is a Democrat (or a Republican, for that matter)? Kids want to hear stories like the Berenstain Bears, which deal with the problems children face on a daily basis, or silly stories like the Captain Underpants series. They couldn't care less about politics at the age when they still want to be read to at bedtime.
Here's a rousing endorsement:
"You're doing heroic work." Bob Fertik, Democrats.com
Heroic? A schmaltzy kids' book that seeks to indocrinate them at a tender age is heroic? What a ridiculous use of the word.

Well...don't for get about "Help! There are liberals under my bed." This is more creepy though because it isn't a joke.

I don't know, i think it's kind of sweet.
"Democrats make sure that evil murderers who want to kill men and mutilate female genitilia have rights, just like Mommy does."
(We see a woman in a burqa painted with Marxist symbols flanked by two Carter-appointed judges forcing a police officer to let a terrorist go free because the officer was 'insensitive' when filing for a warrant.)

Eh, but it's the conservatives who don't think the constitution prohibts government intrusion into the sacred marital bedroom.
Personally I prefer a martial bedroom myself, but that's more information than you wanted to hear.
