I couldn't disagree more. Republicans need to go back to the old ideas like:Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, faith, family, freedom, small government, protection of private property and the common defense. The constitution is a good place to start! Only a big government socialist wants new government controls and innovations.
Along these lines, the Pubbies need to figure out why Ron Paul took such a big bite out of the voting and why his new book is at the top of the charts. Having discerned the truth they should embrace it.
One piece is absolutely missing and has to be face up to. First, tear the administration to bits for not telling true statistics on inflation. We all know what has happened to food and energy and derivative products, even if statistically massaged Commmerce statistics try to hide the truth. Second excoriate Bernanke and Paulson for deliberately seeking hyperinflation as a way to bail out Wall Street. The health of New York investment bankers is not identical to life liberty pursuit of happiness and protection of private property in the US (excluding NYC and DC). The subprime mortgage mess as part of the overall financial mess leaves an awfully big lump under the rug. Standing around claiming innocence while looking guilty is not a solution.
