This year has not started out well for the GOP polls show a third of the party doesn't like the party. However what direction do we go in whatever direction it takes to start winning elections. We tend to hold up Ronald Reagan as a strong conservative symbol yet we don't follow the handbook that he made. The culture wars are over and many conservatives don't know anything else or any other argument. For too long we screamed at the other side and made them into bad people because of ideology. They are not bad people they are bad policies. The biggest thing conservatives need to do is stop legislating morality. President Taft has a quote that is my favorite," The world cannot be saved through legislation". What does this mean government is not the answer to questions. We must as a party tone done the rhetoric that is not helpful to further a debate.
The job of a political party is to win elections thats the point. In order to govern you have to be able to win. That means new fresh ideas not the same old manufactured ideas that voters are not buying anymore. I think we should all read Joe Scarborough's new book.
