In the essay we "look at several approaches to expanding the Conservative vote, while reducing the vote of groups being exploited by politicians on the Left. Some of what follows is more aspirational than immediately achievable. In the interest of stimulating reflection on dynamic interaction from a long-term, multi-generational, perspective, we lump together what could be accomplished tomorrow, by simply changing the way we argue, with goals that will require considerable ground-work."

Personally, I still believe that we can again capture the Republican Party for traditional Conservative American values. But that must depend upon Conservatives becoming more effective, tactically, than we have been, since Reagan left office.

The article goes into ways to address important issues.

No.

It’s been tried.. time and again, and look at the results, the latest of which is the removal of conservatives from budgetary committee posts by John Boehner.

Time for a different course now. And, please... let’s not counter with the tired rationale that splitting the GOP will dilute its chances of winning the White House in 2016. Antarctica will be hosting surfing competition before a GOP candidate ever wins the Presidency again.

Boner must go as Weeper......

2. How is the Speaker of the House elected? Article I, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution states, "The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers."

Although the Constitution does not require the Speaker to be a Member of the House, all Speakers have been Members.

Nobody is changing Washington from inside the Beltway. That’s what The Purge is all about.

The guys that bought and paid for the vote and the White House this last time around aren’t hearin’ nothin’ about any “Constitutional Government”.

All politics is local

Change comes through local government, state legislature. Own your voting precinct. Clean the vote. Ballot receipts etc...

Here is another sample from the Article:

Then there is a failure to discuss the multi-generational foundations to economic strength. Here, too, ex cathedra pronouncements as to how private enterprise creates wealth--coupled with references to web sites, where the motivated voter can discover a fuller argument--do not accomplish what is needed. Leftists succeed in confusing the issue by endlessly denouncing "trickle down" economics. The reality is that private achievement is never "trickle down," but a building on grounded principles--growth through individual enterprise, based upon personal responsibility, often drawing on the retained fruits of previous achievement, passed down through the generations. It is the retained capital resources of a prosperous people--not Government--that fuels economic growth & innovation; the result of natural renewal in a culture based upon personal responsibility & individual achievement. The claim that allowing people to keep more of what they earn, is somehow an adoption of anything so silly as "trickle down economics," is laughable to anyone who actually comprehends how Capitalism functions.
