The Rot Is Deep
Jon Henke has some bullet points on the failure of the GOP:
- Some of you will say "we have learned our lesson", and then try to pass off cosmetic changes as Reform. You are the problem.
- Some of you will say "Republicans need to fight/hold Democrats accountable", as if it is sufficient to be against Democrats. The pendulum may eventually swing back to you, but you won't know what to do with it.
- Some of you will say "Republicans need to carry our message to
the American people", as if the problem is that Republicans haven't
been saying "tax cuts and limited government" loudly enough. The
problem is not the inability to communicate; the problem is that you
have no idea how to actually deliver on those ideas.
- Others will say "Republicans need to be more principled", as if
the problem is a mere lack of personal courage and principle by
Republicans. Even the best people can't limit government if there is
not an effective strategy for implementation - for getting "from here
to there". You don't need better people. You need a better strategy.
