Well, Just what are we going to do then?
It seems we are in the same position as the Democrats will be or already are and both parties have been in this delima many times. It seems that when they try to totally appease the left-wing liberals then they aren’t really connecting with the moderate democrats or the Centrist Voter that is needed to win an election.
So just what does this mean? It means that we have to appease the Centrist Voter next election. He is the guy with no direct party and yet still he controls the elections outcome even without a direct representation .
I have stated many times that the Republicans have never won an election and vice versa that the Dims haven’t either without having the Centrist Voter on their side. The Elections are won through the swing voter or the Centrist. Get him and we have another four years, It’s that simple.....................
“Change” was an October Surprise that worked to accomplish this and even tho they lied about it, this was the item of appeasement that it took to pull it off. Don’t y’all remember “It’s The Economy Stupid?” Just who did that appeal too? The Centrist Voter that’s who............
McCain was the centrist, Heck, GW Bush was a centrist really. we need conservatives.
I agree with Prosouth. You have to hold your base AND capture the middle, The middle hates Rush and right now the GOP loses the middle by about 35 points. The GOP will never win national elections with Rush as the face of the party. He is just too controversial...it is not going to happen. The GOP must develop a young, energetic conservative leader/spokesperson. There are several who can fill the bill but Rush is not one of them.
