We need to put free-market health-care reform, not tax cuts, at the core of our economic message Well, she's got an interesting idea there...
I don't know if I agree, but we'd certainly benefit it free-market health care reform would become more a central part of the debate.

We need to modulate our social conservatism (not jettisonmodulate). The GOP will remain a predominantly conservative party and a predominantly pro-life party. But especially on gay-rights issues, the under-30 generation has arrived at a new consensus. Our party seems to be running to govern a country that no longer exists.
Never mind that in virtually every single state where the people are given a vote, they oppose gay marriage each and every time.

How about we combine a no-prisoners lasse faire capitalism platform, with trade nationalism.
You’ll get the 50% of Americans who are themselves capitalists - and the workers who either have been, or are worried about, losing their jobs overseas.
It’s a knockout combination.

Oh, so the definitions of right and wrong have changed, and we need to adapt? Is that what they’re saying?
No thanks.

Uh, free market anything goes hand in hand with tax cuts. The fact that this author thinks tax cuts are mutually exclusive from health care, shows her lack of understanding of conservatism.

We need to put free-market health-care reform, not tax cuts, at the core of our economic message End Medicare/Medicade, privatize Social Security and make it voluntary and you can kill two birds with one stone, fix health care and have tax cuts.

These wussy people like (writer) Mary Kate?? or whatever must be projecting their own views onto what they think Limbaugh is saying.
Because I’ve never heard Limbaugh or any well-grounded conservative say that we will excommunicate any voters if they don’t support X, Y, or Z.
But the Republican Party has got to maintain a solid core of values, both moral and fiscally, or we might as well just disband and join the deranged Democrats.
Lastly, there is no such thing as a “fiscal conservative and social liberal” ... or whatever it is these ‘moderates’ claim to be.
After all, it is those ‘socially liberal’ things that COST SO MUCH.
It cost this nation Billions to pay for liberal Head Start, or midnight basketball, or taxpayer funded healthcare, or welfare, or any other so-called liberal program.

Frum is an attention whore who believes that by virtue of his mighty intellect that it should be he, David Frum, leading the Republicans out of the wilderness rather than that uncouth yokel with, by the way, a huge audience named Limbaugh.
Frum is envious, conceited, not a conservative, and not nearly as brilliant as he imagines himself to be.
Given that description, it's pretty obvious that Frum has more in common with Obama, whom he very vocally supported in the fall, than he does with anyone or anything associated with conservatism.
Those birds can go flock together.
