Republicans are against "big government," Conservatives are against big gov't. Some of them belong to Republican party.

The Republican Party already has a grassroots-written playbook.
One that the country-clubbers detest and try very hard to ignore.
It is called the Republican Party Platform.

To take the football analogy further, when the republicans “win”, they immediately punt the ball back to the democrats on first down.

The GOP ought to change its symbol from an elephant to a jellyfish.
The way Holder was let off the hook today was instructive as to what’s wrong with the Republican leadership.

We have the best playbook ever devised...The Constitution of the United States...but for some reason, we stopped reading it.

I have had a hand in writing the Texas Party Platform, line by line, letter by letter, including punctuation. And I have studied the Constitution correctly in a college which honors it. The Republican Party Platform is a modern day version of the Constitution. It is a strong defense of everything our Founding Fathers laboriously worked on over two centuries ago.
So, we do have a playbook, one that I helped to write -- as a citizen.
Bob Dole was asked just after the 1996 Republican Convention if he was going to read the platform. He turned up his nose and said, "Who reads a platform?" And, he promptly lost the election.
Good conservatives should make a bigger deal out of what they have written. Because it is all there. The Playbook of the Grassroots which defines the Constitution as it was written by our Founders, properly updated.

Republicans are against "big government," but have no plan for getting to "small government." THAT, in a nutshell, is the reason I don't trust Republicans anymore.
They have been "reaching across the aisle" for so long being essentially Democrat-Lite that they have forgotten they are an opposition party, and need to clearly articulate an ALTERNATIVE to the "progressive" tax and control aspects of the Democrats.

Tancredo also screwed up the first attempt at immigration reform, if memory serves.

Bob Dole was asked just after the 1996 Republican Convention if he was going to read the platform. He turned up his nose and said, "Who reads a platform?" I have NO idea if this is true, but I read over the net that President Bush said "The Constitution is a G-D piece of paper". Is this correct? Do you, or does anyone else know?
Considering the fact that Bob Dole made the above comment that you said he did, given the fact the Juan McCain was the GOP's nominee in 2008, & that, IF true, President Bush's comment about the Constitution, doesn't that say something about the direction in which the GOP is or has headed?
I voted for Harry Browne in 1996 & 2000, & after watching & listening to him on C-SPAN during those elections, I knew good & well that he was a committed pro-life patriot who believed in the Originalist view of the Constitution, as opposed to the Progressive view that the Republocrats have used for the last 80 years. I'll never vote GOP again until they start to respect candidates who believe in the strict interpretation espoused by the Founding Fathers...& STOP insulting the few that do!

“Republican Party needs new playbook”
The first step would be select conservatives to run for office.
