My thoughts on what needs to be done is well documented on FR. And it doesn’t include a march on Washington.
Conservatism too fractured to work on a bottom up approach. THE TP’s were good but soon many of the participants will either lose interest or start balkanizing into their respective pet issue cliques. The turf, power and “vision” battles will ensue from there and the movement will fall apart due to petty bickering.
It’s impossible to herd conservatives for any longer than a short period of time. The only way for it to endure is for a dynamic leader with a cohesive vision and brilliant game plan for acheiving victory to step forth and to tell everyone “This is my vision and plan, if you’re with me, get on board”.
The last man we had to do that was Reagan, but there are no Reagans on the horizon that I can see.
Exactly what I've been trying to tell some folks. You and I know better than most how good these protests feel, but we also know that the career politicians just don't listen nor care.
If we can't find such a leader as you state above, at the very least we should focus on one or two real world efforts to change DC.
I give EVERYONE who attended these TEA Partys major kudos for at least getting out there. I'm proud of each and every one. But you can't herd cats without a concise plan. I hate taxes and I hate big government signs is not going to get the attention of the socialist obami, reid, pelosi triad.
