Why does it take almost every GOP nominee since ‘73 so long to figure out that the GOP wins when it’s socially and fiscally CONSERVATIVE??
Ford LOST
Reagan WON twice
Bush I WON once (& lost when he raised taxes & let Barbara bare her soul on abortion)
Dole LOST (the big tent guy)
Bush II WON twice (even though he waffled on the fiscal side).
The GOP platform is the ONLY thing in the party worth saving.
Because they have traditionally run like scared bunny rabbits from the socialist Democrat "mainstream" newsrooms. This cowardice was somewhat understandable for most of these people (they couldn't ALL be as brave as Ronald Reagan) up until about the early '90s, but it has been 15 years since Rush and talk radio and the internet began their rise, and now that those entities dominate the selection and dissemination of the daily news and the liberal big-city newsrooms continue to fade and die, there is simply no excuse for Republican cowardice. None.
Thank you, you nailed it.
