If a person needs the government to "promote their interests" in terms of more government mandates and spending they GET NO RESPECT from this white collar man.
Ditto that.
This article is WAY off. Wanna make sure the GOP remains in power, AND returns to it's conservative roots?
The party platform needs to resemble Ronald Reagan's as much as possible. We need some Reaganite conservatives for the '08 Presidential campaign and for House and Senate seats in "up for grabs" races.
Why? Because-Ronald W. Reagan was able to unite the fiscal conservatives, the neo-cons, paleocons, and social conservatives. He was fiscally conservative, strong on defense, and socially conservative enough to appeal to the Christian Right without being such a "hard-liner" as to upset the more libertarian wing of the party.
BRING BACK REAGAN-STYLE CONSERVATISM TO THE GOP!
Excellent points. It is amazing cry by pseudo-conservatives for direct government intervention/control of the economy as well as social/moral oversight with a peak in the bedroom to boot. Putting the government in charge of the economy and morality; well is socialism and we now that has faired.
