Do you think the RNC is really wondering if Obama beat them with trendy technology like Facebook and Twitter?
I’ve noticed that, after the election, Fox News has also really gotten into Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. I know, I know it’s quick and easy and takes less effort than a written letter or phone call ... but it’s anonymous. Aren’t they risking being duped by posers?
I believe that the RNC needs to stop messing around, and either:
1. Republish the Republican Party's Reagan era platform, clearly state that it is the roadmap back to political power, get on with explaining how it applies to today's world, while calling for everyone who wants to participate, to “come on down”.
2. Publish instead a moderate/left platform and clearly state that it, instead, is the roadmap back to political power (conservatives already know such ideas failed in the last two elections), then watch to see what the conservative wing of the party does about it.
Regardless of their choice, the RNC needs to “p##$ or get off the pot” NOW. Daylight is burning, and if there is to be a battle for the party (and there is one already), let it rage.
Since conservatives won't (I believe) go for the moderate/left approach, they will have to decide on whether to continue to fight (within the party) or choose flight (to another party).
The fight for the Republican party is just a micro-battle in the war against the marxists/leftists who want to destroy America. But I hope that this micro-battle will raise the alarm about the grave dangers of failing to win the war for America.
Conservatives may not win the internal battle for the Republican party, but they absolutely can't afford to lose the war.
