Unfortunately, today’s Republican party’s approach is to first accept the Democrat premis, on anything from Socialized Medicine to the Global Warming Hoax and then just argue that we have a slightly better idea for achieving the same policy that the loony left is putting forward.
The results are predictable. See John McLame 2008.

THANK YOU!! HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!
Fred Barnes is absolutely right about this! Conservatism and conservative government is the answer and solution to many of our problems as a country.
I posted in on a different discussion board the same thing. NO is not a bad word. No is what adults say to whiney children who have no sense. I would like to see more people saying NO to the ridiculous spending, NO to the special interest groups, NO to the erosion of my individual rights, NO to amnesty for illegals, I could go on and on, but it is about time these liberal morons heard the word NO!!!
That is so white-bread, so corporate, so RNC clueless, barely out of the beltway.
Don't any of these idiots have any street political feel?
But – but JEB and MIT have a BETTER IDEA!
· By all means, let’s have the conservative movement “…leave Reagan behind…” and invent some sappy, empty phrases — like “Hope” and “Change” —
that the ACORN morons can get a grip on and they’ll flock to the GOP.
Here are some that might work:
WHAT THIS COUNTRY NEEDS IS MORE BUSH!
A CHICKEN IN EVERY POT.
2 CARS IN EVERY GARAGE.
A FREE LATE-TERM ABORTION FOR EVERY UNWANTED PREGNANCY.
A GAY BABY-SITTER OR TEACHER FOR EVERY CHILD.
FREE MONEY FOR EVERYONE.
DEFICITS ARE OUR FRIEND.
MORE LIKE THE DEMOCRATS THAN THE DEMOCRATS.
WHAT THIS COUNTRY NEEDS IS MORE MUSLIMS.
KISS A TYRANT — KICK AN ALLY.
A FREE ILLEGAL HISPANIC HOUSEBOY IN EVERY HOME.
Yeah, that’s the ticket. Let’s hurl ALL the traditional and time-tested values on which America became, in under 2 centuries, that shining city on a hill, a beacon of freedom and a world leader over the side to appeal to the ravening masses of MTV, VHI, government school indoctrinated imbiciles that ACORN inticed to the polls with a pack of smokes and a pint of Ripple.
Sounds like a HELL OF A PLAN TO ME!!!
Feel free to add YOUR suggestions.
The GOP needs to drop, as fast as possible, all of teh social issues. People have no desire to be told what they do in their homes. The country is moving libertarian and quickly.
I am happy that Arnold finally said the obvious (legalize).
The GOP should drop the gay marriage, abortion, Christian Conservative messages. Basically, be libertarians: the less government, the better.
Those are not bad personal standards to set for your self and your family but we are slowly learning that they do not sell and can not be sold to the general electorate.
See post #19, it outlines things well.
Barnes is a Beltway elitist interested in party politics and party power, not We the People.
Forget No...
Make the HELL NO!!!
When I read this, I thought Fred must have suffered a concussion and come to his senses. Did he have some unreported head injury?
Any politician that uses the phase "common-sense ideas" is up to no damn good. I now write off any pol who uses that term. I mean if all these ideas are so obvious to everyone, how come we're not using them already? Hm?
GREAT idea straight out of the Democratic playbook.
The GOP should dump the handful of people who still call themselves Republicans, become exactly like the Democrats, and then they'll surely win. /s
If the GOP would become “The Party of ‘Hell, No!’”, I might start thinking of myself as a Republican again. Right now they’re just “The Party of ‘Please don’t get mad at us. We like Obama too.’”.
Bush was a social conservative only. Knowing that, you'd think we could have picked a better candidate in 2008, instead of bickering over who is a bigger Rino while the Dems did our picking for us.
The only consolation prize out of 2008 was Sarah Palin.
