I meant no disrespect. I guess what I'm asking is whether they are the kind to strategize a big vision plan to really advance the conservative cause over the next two years to not only get legislation through congress but help set up for more true Constitutional conservatives to be elected and a true conservative POTUS put in the white house? This will take more energy and effort than traditional beltway politics.
Plus, will they be good conservatives or RINO/elites? This is a very serious question. Will they be in cahoots with Rove, etc. or with the Tea Party Caucus in the House, for instance? I don't know enough about them to know these things.
They appear to know what their job is: to lead the House toward doing what the people have conclusively said they want.
I would not expect of either that they will emerge as "leaders of public opinion". That's not their job. Instead, their role is to lead the House Republican caucus -- keep them in the straight and narrow and responsive to the voters.
They did a reasonably good job of this when they were in the minority, there's no reason to think that they won't do a good job in the majority.
Any "big vision" is going to come from the presidential candidates. That's their job -- to capture the public's interest and lead the nation in a specific direction.
View legislators as mechanics running the Service Dept. Presidential candidates are supposed to provide direction and leadership.
