For a conservative to win the public, he must TEACH the public why THEY are conservative and why conservatism is a winning philosophy.
Ronald Reagan did that. Others have tried...but few can do it the way Ronnie did.
The temptation to be a RINO is too great for ANY Washington insider. If you are out looking for a job, would you rather look among the people who will qualify for Obama’s tax breaks, or among the people who will not? Obama’s tax breaks are calculated gimmicks because he does not understand what makes the economy sound. He is only looking for votes and favors in his actions, but even his supporters are beginning to realize that they need jobs on the earnings side, not temporary gimmicks on the supply side.

And thats why we’re doomed. But even if a Reagan to the tenth power showed up tomorrow, the best he could do would be to slow the path to marxism. Regan managed to slow it, didn’t gain any ground the other way, and no one will.
The reason I know this is even hard core anti-liberals think that the democrats ideas are well meaning, just bad ideas that wont work. The agenda is to destroy, not fix, and once everyones options to opt out of their collective hell are destroyed it’ll be the only choice.
You see these people arguing his policy won’t improve the economy, and the other side arguing how it will, like improving it is even the objective.
