As a former Democrat myself there are some social issues that I’m at odds with conservatives on but that won’t stop me from voting for one to the White House. A conservative is a helluva lot better than an ultra-leftist or squishy moderate any day. My problem with the GOP is they are not selling the conservative agenda that has been successful but instead we’re getting this Democrat-lite message where we’re telling the voters that we’re more efficient at running badly bloated entitlement programs than the other party. That’s what I refer to as Democrat-lite. That moderate, middle-of-the-road agenda has failed to boost the GOP ranks and yet the establishment still follows it. Merely telling the voting public the same stale message of cutting taxes and streamlining programs just won’t do it anymore. I don’t care what the polls say. The vast majority of Americans are clamoring for leadership and they’re not getting it from either party. This is an opportunity to sell conservative ideas but what will the GOP do? It’ll be the same train wreck complete with Republicans afraid to take on the president and circular firing squads with moderates shooting down conservatives and conservatives themselves gunning down other conservatives. The Democrats are detrimental to the success and the future of the country so wouldn’t it be wise to stop the damn civil war in the GOP.
