"The American people," Johnson continued, "are tired of wrecking crews. They want builders--people who construct. They will entrust their affairs to the party that is constructive. They will turn their backs on the party that is destructive.... If we go forward as positive Americans and not negative oppositionists I am convinced that the time is not too far distant when the Democratic Party will again be in the majority. The party that can produce a record of service to the people ... the party that is the least partisan and the most patriotic ... that party will win. A party that is overly partisan, overly quarrelsome and obsessed solely with politics will lose."
