It is fairly simple. The goal is to move the country to the right. To do that, you start by defeating those farthest to the left. Defeating those closer to the right, you tip the balance farther to the left.
Accept the fact that you and I are way more conservative than most Americans. We will never see the country moved as far to the right as we would like. So the fight is to move the middle a little towards the right. It is a battle that will go on the rest of our lives. We won't win...if winning means we get everything we would like. But the left cannot win as long as we fight effectively.
Arnold's appointing them to positions in his administration.
We seem to diagree mostly about how to move rioght, I don't agree that 2 staeps back and 1 forward is much of an option..
we are screwed here if the repubs are asked to continue to rollover for the Gub as he submits for more state budgets and continues to push for more nanny statism..
That the Ca GOP played along with the charade we are witnessing is the worse part of all of it..
Those who wrapped themselves in Reagan are now quick to distance themselves from him and his principles all the while claiming he is their original action hero and are willing to follow an actor that couldn't shine his boots when it s come to policy and getting things done for the people instead of to them.
You start by offering a clear, conservative agenda to voters, regardless if the sniveling Democrats and the MSM call you a mean-old Republicans.
You don't do it by co-opting socialist ideas and alienate your supports to appeal to people who will vote for the Dim anyway.
This is why Reagan's two elections and the GOP in the 1994 mid-terms racked up landslides. That's why the GOP is often referred to as the "Stupid Party." If they just run a center-right agenda, they wouldn't be losing conservative voters.
