Setting aside Sck's predictable response Beez...I'm not sure I agree with you totally though since there has been so LITTLE articulation or adherence since about 1994 (I think that is when Gingrich left) that you could be right.
I admit to being concerned that the population, and public beliefs have changed so much that simply speaking and adhering to traditional conservative principles may no longer attract a majority of Americans even if there was not a recession.
Lets say you did research (absent the present blame republicans for everything atmosphere) a year or two from now and found that only 40% of Americans preferred our values to more liberal values... and that the trend was for our values to get smaller shares as the population aged. Would you be content to hold those values firm and essentially make this a one party rule...or would you look to reach out to a broader segment of current day society? If the latter...what to do? what to change?
It may be all we need to do is oppose what the dems plan to do loudly and wait for them to fail. But I am not sure this is enough for the future. Perhaps a republicans vs. republicans thread is in order!
