This may work in the short term but it will fail in the long. The next generation has abandoned cable television news in favor of online. If Republicans and Conservatives got their crap together, they would be investing in emerging markets like Youtube or creating their own online spaces.
I see this as the Republicans grasping at a withering generation with no plans for the future. Meanwhile, the democrats and progressives control gate keeper positions in almost every market. They launch advanced outreach and sophisticated social networking programs with the help of their supporters and inside contacts in film, media, and technology. They constantly seek out groups and issues they can champion and they deliver. These are areas Republicans need to focus their efforts if they want to challenge the progressive culture monolith. They need to build alliances and focus on policies that appeal to groups like fathers. Imagine a Republican party that takes fathers rights seriously and supports shared parenting and family court reform / law enforcement reform as it pertains to institutionalized gender bias. Men, as a group, are constantly under assault in our society. Imagine female Republicans taking up fathers rights as a campaign issue. The progressives wouldn’t know how to react.
That saying, hold your nose and vote Republican, it works both ways. If Republicans abandon abortion and focus on male contraception, the Catholics can just hold their nose and vote R. If drug and law enforcement reform is pursued, the prison pimps can just shut up, hold their nose, and vote R. Republicans need to move forward and embrace reality. Both our criminal and family courts are corrupt, our family culture is broken and in ruin, the drug war is lost, and our politicians need babysitting by an unbias media.
For an admittedly drunk person, you make a lot of sense.
Not ever going there again.
Ever.
Fool me once shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me!
Not buying into Dim-o-cratic Light ever again!
By the way, it has been MANY more times than twice.
A true conservative party, closer to the TEA party philosophy is inevitable. And I will vote for them without reservation, until they succumb to the D.C. Political and Social Leprosy...
