Of course it is! But you can win on principle. Ronald Reagan didn't compromise on his beliefs to win votes. That's a lesson the GOP needs to take to heart. Conservatism wins wherever its tried. The sad part is we own the arena of ideas. Democrats are reduced to name calling and personal attacks. The way best way to win a mandate is to return to the principles that led the country to vote for the GOP in the first place. Its not only good policy, its good politics as well.

Reagan didn't win by spouting religious beliefs. He won because Carter was a horrible president, Reagan had huge name recognition, Reagan was an outsidethebox because of his hollywood stardom, and he was enormously likeable.
